Lyrics for Song: Tenderly With You
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Carrie Newcomer
I don't mind the years gone by when I think I'm getting better
I don't mind to fall so far when I think I can get up
But I mind the anger I have learned to acquire
And I mind the tough I've growth to wear around like armor
I could live with out you but I don't want to try
I could do it all alone but what would it prove and why
To get beyond our proud and tough
And learn when tenderly enough
I just want to be tenderly with you
I just want to be tenderly with you
When I was a little girl my mother would brush my hair
Now I've learned to brush my own and act like I don't care
And say, "It's not so hard to be so strong"
And do what's right even when they say it's wrong
Yet there days I'd just like to belong
Somewhere
I just want to be tenderly with you
I just want to be tenderly with you
Must we always hurt the ones we love
Does push always heave to come to shove
I just don't believe that's true
There's a hundred ways to guard your heart, if you really want to know
There's a thousand way to stay at arms length if you really wish it so
But I have found that sure resolve, a mystery I'm going to solve
And a hard shell I will dissolve
