--- Start Of Handyman Lyrics ---

Hey girls, gather round
Listen to what I'm putting down
Yeah baby, I'm your handyman

I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule
I'm handy with love and I'm no fool
Fixin broken hearts I know ... that I truly can

If your broken heart ... should need repair
Oh darling I am the man to see
I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me

Here is the main thing I want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
Fixing broken hearts I know ... that I truly can

Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come,
They'll come runnin' to me

Here is the main thing I want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
Fixing broken hearts I know ... that I truly can

Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come, come
Yeah, yeah, yeah
