Tenderness

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
