Try a Little Tenderness

She may be weary

Young girls they do get weary

Wearing that same old shaggy dress

But when she get weary

Try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting

Just anticipating

The thing that she'll never, never, never, possess

But while she's waiting try a little tenderness

It's not sentimental, no, no, no

She has - her greaves and care

But the soft words they are spoken so gentle

Makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it

No

Young girls they don't forget it

Love is their whole happiness

And it's all so easy

I've got to do it straight

I've got to do it

Come on and try

Try a little tenderness

Yeah try

Just keep on trying

Squeeze her

Don't tease her

Never leave her

Try a little tenderness

Don't leave her, no,no

Try a little tenderness
