Hard To Handle - The Black Crowes

Baby, here I am. I'm the man on the scene. I can give you what you want, but you gotta come home with me. I have got some good old lovin' and i got some in store. When it comes to throwin' it on, you gotta come back for more. Boys will come a dime by the dozen. That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'. Pretty little thing, let me light your candle 'Cause mama, I'm sure hard to handle, now, Yes, I am. Action speaks louder than words and i'm a man of great experience. (oh yeah) I know you've got another man, But I can love you better than him. (says who?) Take my hand don't be afraid. I'm gonna prove every word i say. (no lie) I'm advertising love for free so you can place your ad with me. (ah ha) Repeat chorus Baby, here I am. I'm the man on the scene. I can give you what you want, but you gotta come home with me. I have got some good old lovin' and i got some in store. (oh yeah) When it comes to throwin' it on, you gotta come back for more. (ah ha) Repeat chorus

I find it hard to shed a tear You brought it all on yourself my dear Wrong, yes I may be Don't leave a light on for me 'Cause I ain't comin' home It hurts me baby to be alone Yes, it hurts me baby A hundred years will never ease Hearing things I won't believe I saw it with my own two eyes All the pain that I can't hide And this pain starts in my heart And this love tears us apart You won't find me bent down on my knees Ain't bendin' over backwards baby Not to please 'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time I'm seeing things for the first time, oh yeah I'm seeing things for the first time In my life, in my life I used to dream Of better days that never came Sorry ain't nothin' to me I'm gone and that's the way it must be So please I've done my time Lovin' you is such a crime You won't fine me down on, on my knees Won't fine me over backwards baby Just to please 'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time I"m seeing things for the first time Seeing things for the first time Oh I'm seeing things for the first time Yeah, seeing things for the first time I'm seeing things for the first time Yeah, I'm seeing things for the first time In my life, in my life

I lose myself I forget myself Sometimes I fault myself I might fight myself But then I make amends I freeze myself Rain on myself OK, so I stone myself And I might even find myself But then again what happens if I do So unzip my pride Open me up wide So I can show this to you I want to shine for you I want to sparkle too Just like a diamond cursed Well you know it don't get worse You know that I'll save you time Your trouble now is mine Hold me baby Hold me girl And I will laugh with you If you want me to Roll me in your splendor I'll envy your surrender And show you victory I hate myself Doesn't everybody hate themselves I scare myself Then I tell myself it's all in my mind So I let the poison go 'Cause I always know It will be there for me

Oh yeah I hear you talking when I'm on the street Well, your mouth don't move, but I can hear you speak What's the matter with the boy? He don't come around no more Is he checking out for sure? Is he gonna close the door on me? I'm always hearing voices on the street I want to shout, but I can hardly speak I was making love last night To a dancer friend of mine I can't seem to stay in step But she comes every time, she pirouettes over me And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming Only get my rocks off while I'm sleep, sleeping I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed Plug in, rush out to find the fucking feed, woo Heading for the overload Splattered on the dirty road She kicked me like you've kicked before I can't even feel the pain no more Only get my rocks off when I'm dreaming Only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping Feel so hypnotized I can't describe the scene, oh Oh, I feel so mesmerized All that's inside of me I said, inside of me The sunshine bores the daylights out of me Chasing shadows, moonlight mystery Heading for a overload Splattered on a dirty road Kick, kick, kick, kicked me like you've kicked before Can't even feel the pain no more, no more Only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming Only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping Only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping, while I'm sleeping (I only get 'em off, only get 'em off, get 'em off) (Only get 'em off, get 'em off) (Only get 'em off) (I only get 'em off, only get 'em off, get 'em off) (Only get 'em off, get 'em off) (Only get 'em off) (I only get 'em off, only get 'em off, get 'em off) (Only get 'em off, get 'em off) (Only get 'em off) (I only get 'em off, only get 'em off, get 'em off) (Only get 'em off, get 'em off) (Only get 'em off)
