about

The lyrics were written for a female vocal, though work well enough in the "diversified" era of today. I had a female singer in mind, but never got round to recording it properly with her before the mix was lost. I had recorded this early version with my vocals as a guide.

Recorded in 2003 using the Korg Triton. It's got a "Grace Jones" sound in there I kind of liked. Mix was lost in 2004.

lyrics

"Can You Handle It?"

This feeling inside, you know I wont deny you
the music tonight makes me feel I might like to
give up my body and give up my mind to
the one who can make me feel passion, it’s true.

You play all the time with the forces of nature
you’ve had your whole life to face up to the future
I'll take only diamonds, accept only pearls
do you dare put yourself in the hands of this beautiful girl?

You're the one who can touch me in all the right places
Will you leave me to be when I’m dancing with strangers?
Will the smile on your face be the smile in your eyes?
Will you give the whole world and not give me a fight?

Then the beat of the drum will turn us two to one
come on move in the rhythm, move close to me, come
let the daylight forget us, enchantment might let us
dance in the magic and live our whole lives in the song

*

Can you handle it?
Can you handle it?
I can be all the woman, you be all the man

Can you handle it?
Can you handle it?
Everyone says that you can’t, maybe you think that you can.
Handle it.
