Hard to Handle Songtext
von Otis Redding

Baby, here I am, I′m a man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you got to go home with me
I've got some good old loving
And I got some in store
When I get through throwing it on you
You got to come back for more

Boys and things will come by the dozen
That ain′t nothing but drug store loving
Pretty little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause mama, I'm sure hard to handle, now, yessir′am


Action speaks louder than words
And I′m a man with a great experience
I know you got another man
But I can love you better than him
Take my hand, don't be afraid
I′m wanna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free
So won′t you place your ad with me?

Boys will come a dime by the dozen
But that ain't nothing but ten cent loving
Pretty little thing, let me light your candle
′Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now, yessir'am

Baby, here I am, I′m a man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you come go home with me
I′ve got some good old loving
And I got here in store
When I get through throwing it on you
You got to come back for more

Boys will come a dime by the dozen
But that ain't nothing but drug store loving
Pretty little thing, let me light your candle
′Cause mama, I'm sure hard to handle, now, yessir′am

Give it to me, I got to have it
Give it to me, good ol' loving
Some of your good loving
