Handy Man Lyrics
Hey girls, gather round
Listen to what I'm puttin' down
Hey baby, I'm your handy man
I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule
I'm handy with love, and I'm no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know, but I truly can
If your broken heart should need repair
Then I am the man to see
I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends
They'll come running to me
Here is the main thing that I want to say
I'm busy twenty-four hours a day
I fix broken hearts, I know, but I truly can
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come come
Yeah, yeah yeah
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, baby
I'm your handy man
Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a, come come
Yeah, yeah yeah
That's me...
I'm your handy man
Listen to what I'm puttin' down
Hey baby, I'm your handy man
I'm handy with love, and I'm no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know, but I truly can
Then I am the man to see
I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends
They'll come running to me
I'm busy twenty-four hours a day
I fix broken hearts, I know, but I truly can
Yeah, yeah yeah
I'm busy twenty-four hours a day
I fix broken hearts, baby
I'm your handy man
Yeah, yeah yeah
I'm your handy man

Nothing to do with Carly Simon's friends. Taylor didn't write this song. It was written by a singer named Jimmy Jones in 1960. In 1964 it was recorded again by Del Shannon, who had a solid hit with it. Taylor covered quite a few songs from that era, like "How Sweet it Is", "Wonderful World," and "Mockingbird."
Yes, it's sexual. He's bragging that he provides awesome orgasms to women. First he whispers sweet things. Then he uses his handy hands. Then she cums, a lot. And she feels so much better. Apparently girls gossip and he gets referral business.

this is the most beautiful song ever. and noones commented. johnny marr based reel around the fountain on this song.
^ hey thanks for the trivia =)
Ummm...no. It's a somewhat smug statement of how popular he was with Carly's female friends, which gave her much cause for jealousy during their marriage.
Great song from the '70's. :)
The song has a bit of a dark undertone for me, since I discovered it in the soundtrack of the film Smooth Talk, involving a not-so-benevolent seducer. Btw, the refrain has been completely omitted from the lyrics above.
female masturbation and orgasm
This is a song about TIME. Sung in first person by TIME. Here is the main thing I want to say (the following lines are most important) I'm busy twenty four hours a day (what is busy 24 hours a day? TIME) I fix broken hearts, I know that I truly can (TIME is the great healer of broken hearts) signed: - TIME
This song is about female masturbation. I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule!
