Lyrics
Hey girls, gather round
Listen to what I’m puttin’ down
Hey, baby, I’m your handy man
I’m not the kind that uses pencil or rule
I’m handy with the love and I’m no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know I truly can
If your broken heart, she needs repair
Then I’m the man to see, I whisper sweet things
You tell all your friends, they’ll come running to me
Here is the main thing I want to say
I’m busy twenty four hours a day
I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can
Come, come, come, come, come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come, come, come, come, come, come, come, oh now
They’ll come runnin’ to me
Here is the main thing I want to say
I’m busy twenty four hours a day
I fix broken hearts, baby I’m your handy man
Come, come, come, come, come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come, come, come, come, come, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That’s me
(Come, come, come, come, come, come)
I’m your handy man
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
That’s me
(Come, come, come, come, come, come)
I’m your handy man
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
