can you handle it
Ben Liebrand Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you handle it
Can you handle it
'Cause you ain't had nothing like it

Can you handle it
Can you handle it
'Cause you ain't had nothing like it
Boy just to feel my touch
If you're not the best
It might be too much
Now you don't have to take my word
Cause actions speak louder than words
And I will be heard

Can you handle it
Can you handle it
'Cause you ain't had nothing like it

Can you handle it
Can you handle it

When it comes to love
I'm the best
Do you really think you could get by this
Now if your score's not too high
Don't feel like you're letting me down
Cause all you can do is try

Can you handle it
Can you handle it
'Cause you ain't had nothing like it

Can you handle it
Can you handle it
Can you handle it baby

Can you handle it
Can you handle it
'Cause you ain't had nothing like it

Can you handle it
Ain't nothing like it

Just to feel my touch
Just might be too much
For you baby for you baby

Can you handle it
Ain't nothing like it





Can you handle it
Ain't nothing like it

Overall Meaning

The lines "Boy just to feel my touch / If you're not the best / It might be too much" suggest that the singer is looking for someone who can handle the passion and intensity of their touch, and if they can't, then they may not be the right fit for the singer.
