Les paroles de la chanson

Been beat up and battered ’round
Been sent up, and I’ve been shot down
You’re the best thing that I’ve ever found
Handle me with care

Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
Baby, you’re adorable
Handle me with care

I’m so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won’t you show me that you really care

Everybody’s got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and Dream on

I’ve been fobbed off, and I’ve been fooled
I’ve been robbed and ridiculed
In day care centers and night schools
Handle me with care

Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Hand me with care

I’m so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won’t you show me that you really care

Everybody’s got somebody to lean on
Put your body next to mine, and Dream on

I’ve been uptight and made a mess
But I’ll clean it up myself, I guess
Oh, the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care

L’histoire de la chanson

Handle with Care est le premier single des Traveling Wilburys, extrait de leur premier album, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1, tous deux parus en 1988.
Issue d’une session impromptue des futurs membres des Wilburys (Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison et Tom Petty), la chanson devait servir à l’origine de face B au single de George Harrison This Is Love. Cependant, sa maison de disques la considéra comme trop bonne pour un tel sort. Les cinq musiciens avaient trouvé l’expérience d’enregistrer ensemble si plaisante qu’ils finirent par produire un album entier sous le nom des Traveling Wilburys.
