Handful

Dottie West · What I'm Cut Out to Be [RCA Victor] [1968]

(Red Lane)



His warm hand in mine was such a handful

And the love I had for him was such a heartful

I gave all there was of me and I was just too blind to see

That all the love he gave to me was just a handful.



I guess I didn't have what he demanded

But at least he didn't leave me empty handed

For my head is in my hands, what a handful

And I'm crying bitter tears by the eyesful.



And his letter here crumble in my hand

Is asking me to understand

And please forgive him if I can

And that's a handful...
