Tenderness

I don't know when to start or when to stop

My luck's like a button, can't stop pushing it

My head feels light but I'm still in the dark

Seems like without tenderness, there's something missing

Tenderness

Where is the tenderness?

Where is it?

I don't know where I am but I know I don't like it

I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful

Words are so cheap, but they can turn out expensive

Words like conviction can turn into a sentence

I held your hands

Rings but none on that finger

We danced and danced

But I was scared to go much further with it

Just half a chance

Make sure that one night you're here but

Next night you're not

It always leaves me searching for a little

Tenderness (Tenderness)

Tenderness

Tenderness

Where is the tenderness?

Whistling in the graveyard

Calling up your girlfriend

Just trying to make her understand

You're squeezing the telephone like it was her hand

No questions (So many questions)

She's going to catch you out, boy

It all seems so underhand

Now she's the only thing that ever made you feel like a

Man, man, mad man, mad man

Where is the tenderness?

The tenderness

Where is the tenderness?

Tenderness

Where is it?

I held your hands

Rings but none on that finger

We danced and danced

But I was scared to go much further with it

Just half a chance

Make sure that one night you're here but

Next night you're not

It always leaves me searching for a little

Tenderness (Tenderness)

Tenderness (Tenderness)

Tenderness (Tenderness)

When you're sick to death of second best, pet

Tenderness (Where is the tenderness?)

Why should the morning always find you unimpressed

Tenderness (Where is the tenderness?)

Is your love like a button, you can't stop pushing it?

Tenderness (Where is the tenderness?)

This all night longing can be such a long time

Tenderness (Where is the tenderness?)

Where is the tenderness?

Where is the tenderness?

Where is the tenderness?

And the tenderness

Where is the tenderness?

The tenderness
