She may be weary,
women do get weary,
Wearing the same shabby dress.
And when she's weary,
try a little tenderness.
She may be waiting,
just anticipating,
Things she may never possess.
And while she's without them,
try a little tenderness.
It's not just sentimental,
She has her grief
and her care.
But a word
so soft and gentle,
Makes it easier
to bear.
You won't regret it,
women don't forget it,
Love is their whole happiness.
And it's all so easy,
try a little tenderness.
But a word
soft and gentle,
Makes it easier
to bear.
You won't regret it,
women don't forget it,
Love is their whole happiness.
And it's all so easy,
just try a little tenderness.
You've gotta try,
you've gotta hold her,
You've got to squeeze her.
You have to try,
you've got to try,
And always please her.
You won't regret it,
you won't regret it,
Oh,
try a little tenderness.
