Capo II
D A \ Bm 4x
Hey girls gather round
Listen to what I'm puttin' down
Hey baby, I'm you handyman  
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 that 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 runnin' 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 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 that I want to say
I'm busy twenty four hours a day
I fix broken hearts baby I'm your handyman  
Come a come a come a come a come come
Yeah..... yeah yeah 4x

Hey girls, gather round
Listen to what I'm putting down
Hey baby, I'm your handyman  
I'm not the kind to use a pencil or ruler
I'm handy with love and I'm no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know that 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 runnin' to me
Here is the main thing that I want to say
I'm busy 24 hours a day
I fix 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
I fix broken hearts, baby I’m your handyman
