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