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...
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...
