Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah
You know shes waiting
Just anticipating
For things that shell never, never, never, never possess, yeah yeah
But while shes there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness [(thats all you gotta do)]
Its not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah
You wont regret it, no, no
Some girls they dont forget it
Love is their only happiness, yeah
But its all so easy
All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness, yeah
All you gotta do is, man, hold her where you want her
Squeeze her, dont tease her, never leave her
Get to her, try, try
Just try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah
You got to know how to love her, man, youll be surprised, man
Youve got to squeeze her, dont tease her, never leave
Youve got to hold her and rub her softly
Try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah
Youve got to rub her gentle man, all you gotta do, no no
Youve got to love her, squeeze her, dont tease her
Gotta try nah nah nah, try
Try a little tenderness, yeah, watch her groove
Youve gotta to know what to do, man
