Try a Little Tenderness

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 cares But a word Soft and gentle Makes it easier to bear So much easier to bear You won't regret it Women don't forget it Love's got a whole A whole happiness And it's all so easy Just to try a little tenderness You've gotta try You've gotta hold 'er You've got ta squeeze her You have to try You've got ta try And always please her You won't regret it You won't regret it Oh Try a little tender-ness
