So if you take a love like mine
And my love won't desert me
Fanny, be tender with my love
And my love won't forsake me
'Cause it's all that I've got
Do you think I'm gonna stand here
'Cause it's all that I've got
And it's sure been a lonely time
You're out of your brain
Oh, with our love, you made a promise
You know how easy it is to hurt me
And it's the start of a love affair
'Cause it's all that I've got
So you say to yourself, boy
Right up to the time I met you
Ooh, be tender with my love
With my love, our love will seal it together
The moment when I first met you
Fanny, be tender with my love
And my love won't forsake me
You know how easy it is to break me
You'll always love me forever
You know how easy it is to break it
Ooh, be tender with my love
And if you want, I'll take you there
Fanny, be tender with my love
All night in the rain?
Be tender with my love
The love of this man at all
