Lyrics to Handle With Care by JRA
This is a perfect night to me
Just you & I snugglin’ in front of the TV
Just hanging out with our PJs on
Watching “Law & Order: SVU” all night long
PRECHORUS
Do you feel it beating?
Do you hear what it’s saying to you?
‘Cause mine is fleeting
and I think I’m falling
CHORUS
Oh Oh Oh
This could be L-O-V-E
Oh Oh Oh
This is what I dreamed it would be
You got my heart on a leash
and I just cannot speak
I won’t go anywhere
just handle with care
My heart
Please don’t break it
No, please don’t break it
There’s no place I’d rather be
than to be with you underneath these sheets
Oh, to feel like this
No it can’t be wrong
No it can’t be wrong
There’s no place I’d rather be
than to be with you right in front of me
With our lips locked
Our eyes closed shut
and no one else but us
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
