Try A Little Tenderness

Oh, she may be weary

And young girls, they do get weary

Wearin' that same old shaggy dress

But when she gets weary

Try a little tenderness

You know she's waitin', just anticipatin'

The things that she never, never, never, never possesses, yeah

But while she's there waitin' without them

Try a little tenderness

That's all you gotta do, this is for you

It's not just sentimental, no, no

She has her grief and her care, yeah, yeah

But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle

It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah

You won't regret it, no, no

Young girls, they never forget it

Love is their only happiness

But it is all so easy

All you gotta do is try a little tenderness

Oh, yeah, baby, oh, yeah

Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her

You got to, you got to

You got to, you got to

Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah

Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her

You got to, you got to

You got to, you got to

Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah you got to

Squeeze her, don't you tease her, never leave her

You got to, you got to

You got to, oh, yeah, a little tenderness

Oh, tenderness, yeah, yeah

Yeah, you got to

Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her

You got to, you got to

You got to, you got to

Try a little tenderness, yeah, oh, oh

Whoa, whoa, whoa, baby, you got to

You got to squeeze her, don't you tease her, never leave her

You got to, you got to

You got to try a little tenderness, yeah

Oh, baby, oh, oh, yeah

You got to squeeze her, never leave her

You got to, you got to

You got to, got to, got to, got to

Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
