Tenderness

Just a little tenderness

At the end of the day

Is all a woman needs to take her fears away, yeah

Cold, cold, the world so cold

Mi wan' someone fi have and fi hold

Inna di night, when the feelings a-bite

Hug mi up, squeeze mi up, mek mi feel right

Forget the problems, everybody have them

Tonight, mi just nah feature them

I just wanna lay with you

And be an island in this sea of confusion

Just a little tenderness

At the end of the day

Is all a woman needs to take her fears away

Just a little tenderness

With the lights down low

When the world is just two people

And love is all we need to know

Everybody's got an idea

Of what's right, what's right for me

I'm just trying to survive and

Live my life positively

This one wants to educate me

That one wants to dominate me

The other one, trying to wear me down

Talking out of both sides of their mouth

I just wanna lay with you, oh

And be an island in this sea of confusion

Just a little tenderness

At the end of the day

Is all a woman needs to take her fears away

Just a little tenderness

Put the lights down low

When the world is just two people

And love is all we need to know

Mmm, and I, I just wanna lay with you, oh

And be an island in this sea of confusion

Just a little tenderness

At the end of the day

Is all a woman needs to take her fears away

Just a little tenderness

With the lights down low

The world is just two people

And love is all we need to know

Tenderness

Mmm, at the end of the day

Is all a woman needs to take her fears away

Just a little tenderness

Mmm, deep in the night

When the world is just two people

And everything's gonna be all right
