Try a Little Tenderness

Oh, she may be weary
Young girls, they do get wearied
Wearing same old shaggy dress
When she gets weary, try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting, just anticipating
A things that you'll never, never, never possess
No, but while she's there waiting
You gotta try a little tenderness

That's all you got to do now
It's not just sentimental, no, she has greaves and care
But those soft words, they are spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bear

You won't regret it
Those young girls they don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness, but it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try a little tenderness

Try a little tenderness
Oh, got to hold her, squeeze her, never leave her
And they got to try, try a little tenderness, yeah
All you got to do now is take my advice
You've got to hold her, squeeze her, never leave her
You've got to try, try, try a little tenderness

Try a little tenderness, oh you listen to me
You've got to hold her, squeeze her, never leave her this
Then baby you've got to try, try a little tenderness
Try a little tenderness, got to believe
Now hold her, squeeze her, never, never leave her

Try a little tenderness
