Just a little tenderness At the end of the day Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away Cold, cold di world so cold Mi waash someone to have and to hold Ina di nite, when di feelings a bite Hug mi up, squeeze mi up mek mi feel right Forget di problems, everybody have dem Tonight mi just naah feature dem I, just wanna lay with you, And be an island in this sea of confusion Just a little tenderness At the end of the day Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away Just a little tenderness With the lights down low, When the world is just two people, And love is all we need to know Everybody got an idea Of what's right, what's right for me I'm just tryin' to survive and Live my life peacefully This one wants to educate me This one wants to dominate me The other one's tryin' to wear me down Talkin' outta both sides of the mouth, oh I, just wanna lay with you, And be an island in this sea of confusion Just a little tenderness At the end of the day Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away Just a little tenderness With the lights down low, When the world is just two people, And love is all we need to know I, just wanna lay with you, And be an island in this sea of confusion Just a little tenderness At the end of the day Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away Just a little tenderness With the lights down low, When the world is just two people, And love is all we need to know Just a little tenderness At the end of the day Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away Just a little tenderness At the end of the night When the world is just two people, And everything's gonna be alright....
