Try a Little Tenderness

In the bustle of today

We're all inclined to miss

Little things that mean so much

A word, a smile, a kiss

When a woman loves a man

He's a hero in her eyes

And a hero he can always be

If he'll just realize

She may be weary, women do got weary

Wearing the same shabby dress

And when she's weary

Try a little tenderness

You know she's the waiting just anticipating

Things she may never possess

While she's without them

Try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental

She has her grief and care

And a word that soft and gentle

Makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it, woman don't forget it

Love is their whole happiness

It's oh, so easy

Try a little tenderness

It's oh, so easy

Try a little tenderness

It's oh, so easy

Try a little tenderness
