Try A Little Tenderness
She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness
She may be waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess
But while she's without them
Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief
And her care
But a word
So soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's oh so easy
Try a little tenderness
But a word
Soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's oh so easy
Just try a little tenderness
You've gotta try-
You've gotta hold her
You've got to squeeze her
You have to try-
You got to try-
And always please her
You won't regret it
You won't regret it
Oh, try a little tenderness
