Tenderness Lyrics

Tenderness lyrics

She tried to show me how to love

I bit her lips and bruised her arms

No I hadn't learned Tenderness



She asked, "what does love mean to you?"

I grabbed her hair and pulled her down

I looked in her eyes and I laughed



The love I feel is hard and fast

It's for a face and for one night

I don't need to own anyone



She said, she said, "All your women burn in your flame

But as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave you and seek revenge"



She laughed and said, "You'll go through hell

You'll live in lonely rooms I know

And watch for my love's Tenderness"



Oh I went from her to someone else

And someone else mmmm

Oh I couldn't feel satisfied



(instrumental)



She said, she said, "All your women burn in your flame

But as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave you and seek revenge"



I wish that I could find her now

My love is soft, my love is warm

I'd take her to bed tenderly

Oh i'd take her to bed tenderly

Yes I'd take her to bed tenderly



mmmhhhmmmm
