She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness
Oh, she may be waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess.
While she's without them,
Try a little tenderness.
It's not just sentimental
She has her griefs
And my cares
But a word
Soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love's got a whole
A whole happiness
And it's so so easy
Try a little tenderness
But a word
Soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love's got a whole
A whole happiness
And it's so so easy
Try a little tenderness
You've got to hold her,
You've got to squeeze her.
You have to try
You've got to try
And always please her.
You won't regret it
You won't regret it
Try a little tenderness.
