Hello everybody,

my friends and I are not entrirely sure as to what they sing in the
chorus.

Is it "hey little thing let me lite your candle 'cause" or
"hey little thing let me lite your chemicals" ?

By the way: any lyrics from The Black Crowes are welcome!

C-Y'all

Hey little thing, let me light your candle, cause
Mama I'm sure hard to handle now
Yes I am

(That's the way Otis Redding/The Commitments sang it)

I believe it is "cause". Also, if I'm not mistaken, this is a cover of
this song. Anyone know for sure?

It goes....
"Pretty little thing let me light your candle, 'cause a mama I'm sure hard
to handle now...."
I have all of the lyrics for "Shake Your Money Maker" on my computer at
home. If you want them, e-mail me and I'll be glad to send them to you.

Hard To Handle
by, the Black Crowes
========================

Baby here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you gotta' come home with me

I have got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta' come back for more

(Chorus)

Boys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'


Pretty little thing let me light your candle

'Cause mama I'm so hard to handle now
Yes I am

Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you've got another man
But I can love you better than him

Take my hand don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free
So you can place your ad with me

(Chorus)

Boys come along a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'


Pretty little thing let me light your candle

'Cause mama I'm so hard to handle now
Yes I am

(Repeat Verse 1)

(Repeat Chorus 1)

IT'S NOT BY THE BLACK CROWES!!
Otis Redding wrote and recorded it.
The Crowes did a (good) cover of it.

Yes, it is a cover. I can't remember who originally did it. I want to
say Otis Redding but I'm not sure.
