Can You Handle Me
Embracing Unpredictability: Can You Handle Me by Ciara Brooke
Lyrics
The heat beneath my skin is real
The intense sensation beneath the singer's skin is genuine.
It's burnin somethin fierce
It's a strong and burning sensation.
Don't ask me why I feel this way
There's uncertainty about why the singer feels this way.
Cause I can't really say
The singer is unable to articulate the cause of their emotions.
Why I'm angry
The singer is experiencing anger without a clear reason.
Please don't look at me with those eyes
The request not to be looked at with judgment or doubt about sanity.
That question my sanity
Concern about being questioned regarding mental stability.
Cause honey baby you and I
The relationship is acknowledged with the term "honey baby."
We both know
Both partners acknowledge the singer's inclination toward craziness.
I'm a little crazy
The singer admits to being a bit crazy.
Can you handle me
The central question: Can the partner handle the singer's eccentricities?
I'm unpredictable at best
The singer is described as unpredictable and often messy.
Most of the time a mess
Acknowledgment of being a mess most of the time.
Of conflicting emotions
The singer experiences conflicting emotions.
My heart is bare for you to see
The singer's heart is open and exposed to the partner.
Though it changes frequently
The emotions frequently change.
I gotta ask you baby
A direct question to the partner about handling the singer's complexity.
Can you handle me
(Repetition of the question)
Can you handle me
-Can you handle me
-I'm crying hard the tears fall fast
Despite crying, the singer clarifies that they are not sad.
Don't worry I'm not sad
The tears are not a result of sadness.
And I can't explain why I can't breathe
Despite difficulty breathing, the singer is happy.
I'm actually pretty happy
The apparent contradiction of being happy despite physical symptoms.
And please don't ask me if I could be
A request not to question the possibility of overreacting.
Overreacting
Anticipating a potential accusation of overreacting.
I maybe am but that don't matter baby
Acknowledging a possibility of overreacting, but insisting on asking questions.
Let me do the asking
The singer wants to be the one asking questions.
Can you handle me
The central question is repeated.
I'm unpredictable at best
(Repetition of the question)
