Try a Little Tenderness

Oh, she may be weary

Young girls, they do get weary

Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah-yeah-yeah

But when she gets me weary

Try a little tenderness

Nah, nah, nah, nah

You know she's waiting, just anticipating

Things that she'll never, never, never possess

But while she's there waiting

Try a little tenderness

That's all you've gotta do

It's not just sentimental, no, no, no

She has her grieves and cares

But these soft words, they all spoke so gentle, yeah

It makes it easier, easier to

You won't regret it, no, no

Some girls, they don't forget it

Love is their only happiness

But it's all so easy, all you gotta do is

Try a little tenderness

That's all you gotta do

Squeeze her, don't tease her

Never leave her, gotta try a little tenderness

All you gotta do

You gotta squeeze her, don't tease her

Never leave her, gotta try

Try a little tenderness

Tenderness, tenderness

All you gotta do, nah-nah-nah

You gotta know how to love her now, real good

And try a little tenderness

Try a little tenderness

A little tenderness

All you gotta to do is
