Lyrics

Oh, she may be weary
And them young girls they sure get weary
Wearing that same old raggedy dress, yeah
But when they get weary
Try a little tenderness
Tell you, you might not believe it but, huh
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
Things that she'll never, never, never possess, yeah
But all the time she's without it
Go to her and try a little tenderness
Oh, but it's one thing
It's not just sentimental, yeah
She has her grief and care
But her words are so soft and gentle, yeah
It oh, that makes, makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah
You won't regret it, no, no
Young women, folks, they don't forget it
'Cause love is their only, oh, happiness, yeah
And it's all so easy
Come on and try, try a little tenderness, yeah
Try it, just keep on trying, you got to
Help her, squeeze her, don't tease her
Make love, hold her tight
You could just try a little tenderness
That's all you gotta do
You got to hold her right, yeah
One more time and you got to
Love her, hold her, don't tease her, never leave
Make love to her, hold her and
Try a little tenderness, you ain't tried, man, just one time
Just try it, man, all you got to do
Help her, hold her, make love, don't leave her, yeah
Try, what you talkin' about
Try, try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah
You got to make love all night, oh man, don't tease her
But take and rub her down, smooth her, groove
Groove her, love her, rub her, don't do it odd, man
Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got to try it one time
Watch as I go in
