Be nice to her
Whenever you can
And as you cross the street always hold her hand
You'll find out
Tenderness goes a long, long way
So, smile at her
When she does something wrong
Be there to pick her up and make her strong
You'll find out
Tenderness goes a long, long way
Mmm, if you'll be kind
Sometimes she'll be blind
To the wrong things you might do
If you treat her good, oh, the way that you should
She'll see the goodness in you
So, be sweet to her
And gentle too
And you'll find out what
Tenderness can do
You'll find out, you'll find out, you'll find out
Tenderness goes a long, long way
Be (be sweet to her)
And (and gentle too)
You'll find out
What, oh, what that tenderness can do
You'll find out, you'll find out, you'll find out
Tenderness goes a long, long way
