Young girls they do get wearied
Young girls, they don't forget it
But it's all so easy, all you've got to do is try a little tenderness
Try a little tenderness, baby
Hug me, squeeze me, don't leave me
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah
Oh, tenderness
All you gotta do is try a little tenderness, oh yeah
Oh, that's all you got to do now
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle
She's had, she's had her grief and care
Love, love, love is their only happiness, oh yeah, yeah
Try, try a little tenderness, try a little tenderness
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle
Try a little tenderness
Oh, you won't regret it, no, no
Oh, she may be weary
You know she's waiting
All you have to do, oh baby, be nice
But while she's waiting there
It makes it easier, easier to bare
Never, never possess, oh no, no
All you have to do is try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
Young girls they do get wearied
It makes it easier, easier to bare
But when she's weary, try a little tenderness
Just anticipating the things that she'll
Squeeze her, don't leave her, try a little tenderness
You wouldn't regret it, oh, no [Incomprehensible]
Try a little tenderness
Love is their only happiness
If you try, try a little tenderness
