Tenderness Lyrics

Tenderness lyrics

I don`t know when to start or when to stop
My luck`s like a button
I can`t stop pushing it
My head feels light
But I`m still in the dark
Seems like without tenderness there`s something missing
Tenderness
Where is the 
Tenderness
Where is it?

I don`t know where I am but I know I don`t like it
I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful
Words are so cheap, but they can turn out expensive
Words like conviction can turn into a sentence

I held your hands
Rings but none on that finger
We danced and danced
But I was scared to go much further with it
Just half a chance
Make sure that one night you`re here,
But next night you`re not
It always leaves me searching for a little

Tenderness
Where is the 
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness?

Whistling in the graveyard
Calling up your girlfriend
Just trying to make her understand
You`re squeezing the telephone like it was her hand
No question (so many questions)
She`s going to catch you out boy
It all seems so underhand
Now she`s the only thing that ever made you feel like a man, man
Madman, madman

Tenderness
Where is the 
Tenderness
Tenderness
Tenderness
Where is it?

I held your hands
Rings but none on that finger
We danced and danced
But I was scared to go much further with it
Just half a chance
Make sure that one night you`re here,
But next night you`re not
It always leaves me searching for a little

Tenderness
Where is the 
Tenderness?

When you`re sick to death of second best, pet
Why should the morning always find you unimpressed?
Is your love like a button?
You can`t stop pushing it?
Oh this all night longing can be such a long time
