Try A Little Tenderness Lyrics

Oh, she may be weary

Young girls they do get weary

Wearing that same old shaggy dress

But when she gets weary

Try a little tenderness



You know she's waiting

Just anticipating

For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess

But while she's there waiting, without them

Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do, this is for you)



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

She has her grief and care

But the soft words they are spoke so gentle

It makes it easier, easier to bear



You won't regret it, no, no

Young girls they never forget it

Love is their only happiness

But it's all so easy

All you gotta do is try a little tenderness



Oh, she may be weary

Young girls they do get weary

Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah

But when she gets weary

Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah



You know she's waiting

Just anticipating

For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah

But while she's there waiting, without them

Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)



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

She has her grief and care

But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah

It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah



You won't regret it, no, no

Some girls they don't forget it

Love is their only happiness, yeah

But it's all so easy

All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness



Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her

You've got, you've got, you've got

Just try a little tenderness, oh yeah yeah yeah
