Hard to Handle

Brenda Lee · Other Songs - Brenda Lee

Hey baby, here I am

And I'm a girl that's on the scene

I can give you what you want

But I got to come home with me sweet daddy.



I got some good lovin'

And I got a little bit in store

When I got through layin' it on you

You gotta come back for more.



I said girls like her

Come a dime a dozen

Women in love come

Only just through lovin'.



Little thing won't you light my candle

Because daddy I'm sure hard to handle, honey, yes I am.



I said sweetie here I am

And I'm a woman with great attraction

I can give you what you want

'Cause I've got plenty of action.



I got some good lovin'

And I got a little bit in store

When I got through layin' it on you

You gotta come back for more.



I said girls like her

Come a dime a dozen

Women in love come

Only just through lovin'.



Little thing won't you light my candle

Because I'm hard to handle, honey, yes I am.



Sweetie here I am

And I'm a girl that's on the scene

I can give you what you want

But you gotta come home with me now.



I got some good lovin'

And I got a little bit in store

When I got through layin' it on you

You gotta come back for more.



I said girls like her

Come a dime a dozen

Women in love come

Only just through lovin'.



Little thing won't you light my candle

Well I'm hard to handle, yes I am.



Hard to handle, light my candle

Hard to handle, light my candle

Hard to handle, light my candle

Hard to handle...
