Try a Little Tenderness

Oh she may be weary
Those young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she gets weary
She gets weary
Try a little tenderness

I know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that you'll never never possess
While she's there waiting

Try just a little a tenderness
That's all you got to do

It's not just sentimental no
But she has her griefs and cares
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle

And it makes it easier to bear
Oh she won't regret it, no no
Them young girls they don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
Yeah yeah yeah

But its all so easy
All you got to do is
Try a little tenderness

You've got to
Hold her
Squeeze her
Never leave her
Now get to her
Got got got to try a little tenderness

You've got to hold her
Don't squeeze her
Never leave her
Try a little tenderness
