Hard To Handle (Live at the Fillmore East, New York City, February 14, 1970) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, here I am, and I'm a man upon the scene
I have to give you what you want
But you got to come home with me
And I got a whole lot of good old lovin'
And I got some in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You got to come back for some more

[Chorus]
Boys and things will come by the dozen
Ain't nothing but drugstore lovin'
Pretty little thing let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle now, yes, I am

[Verse 2]
Actions speak louder than words
And I'm a man with great experience
I know you got you another man
But I can love you better than him
Takе my hand and don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove evеry word I say
I'm advertising love for free
So won't you place your ad with me

[Chorus]
Boys and things will come by the dozen
T'ain't nothing but drugstore lovin'
Pretty little thing let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle now, yes, I am
[Bridge]
Give it to me, ha
I got to have it
Some of your love
I'm a big old man
Sometimes I get hard to handle, baby
Sometimes I get kinda hard to handle now
Yes, I want to have, some of your love
Some of your love
Make me feel pretty good now, yes, it do

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
Baby, here I am, and I'm a man upon the scene
And I can give you what you want
But you got to come home with me
And I got a whole lot of good old lovin'
And I got some in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You got to come back for some more

[Chorus]
Boys and things will come by the dozen
T'ain't nothing but drugstore lovin'
Pretty little thing let me light your candle
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle now, yes, I am
[Outro]
Thank you
