Handle Me” Verse 1 I don’t raise my voice, I lower the room Walk in quiet, but I shift the mood Heels on tile like a loaded gun You don’t chase me… but you don’t run I play nice, yeah I know my part Pretty smile, but a reckless heart You think you’re leading, take control— Baby, I just let you think you’re bold Pre-Chorus I’m not loud, I don’t need to be You lean in when I barely speak Every line got a double meaning Say less… you’re already reading Chorus Careful how you handle me I’m soft touch, but I bruise your dreams One look and you’re off your feet Yeah, I’m trouble dressed so sweet Don’t say you can’t breathe tonight You walked straight into my design I don’t chase, I make you come to me Careful how you handle me Verse 2 I could leave, but I like the game That almost-touch, don’t-say-my-name Fingertips just out of reach You want more than I ever speak I don’t beg, I don’t need the crown Still you’re on your knees right now Not from force—no, that’s the twist You just love the way I resist Pre-Chorus I don’t push, I just pull you in Let you wonder where I’ve been Every move got you overthinking You’re hooked… and I’m barely giving Chorus Careful how you handle me I’m soft touch, but I bruise your dreams One look and you’re off your feet Yeah, I’m trouble dressed so sweet Don’t say you can’t breathe tonight You walked straight into my design I don’t chase, I make you come to me Careful how you handle me Bridge (low, almost whispered) Shh… don’t rush it You like the tension, don’t you? That moment right before— Where you don’t know if I will… …or if I’ll make you wait Final Chorus (soft, stripped back) Careful how you handle me I don’t break, I just make you weak Close enough that you can’t leave Far enough you still need me
