Hard To Handle    (1967)

Hey there, here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you got to go home with me

I forgot some good old lovin'
And I got some in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You got to come back for more

Toys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drug store lovin'
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 of great experience
I know you got you another man
But I can love you better than him

Take my hand, don't be afraid
I wanna prove every word I say
I'm advertisin' love for free
So, won't you place your ad with me

Boys will come a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but ten cent lovin'
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 got to come home with me

I forgot some good old lovin'
And I got some in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You got to come back for more

Boys will come a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drug store lovin'
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 me some good old lovin'
