Try A Little Tenderness

Oh, she may be weary



Young girls, they do get wearied



Wearing same old shaggy dress



When she gets weary, try a little tenderness



You know she's waiting, just anticipating



A things that you'll never, never, never possess



No, but while she's there waiting



You gotta try a little tenderness



That's all you got to do now



It's not just sentimental, no, she has greaves and care



But those soft words, they are spoke so gentle



It makes it easier, easier to bear



You won't regret it



Those young girls they don't forget it



Love is their whole happiness, but it's all so easy



All you gotta do is try a little tenderness



Try a little tenderness



Oh, got to hold her, squeeze her, never leave her



And they got to try, try a little tenderness, yeah



All you got to do now is take my advice



You've got to hold her, squeeze her, never leave her



You've got to try, try, try a little tenderness



Try a little tenderness, oh you listen to me



You've got to hold her, squeeze her, never leave her this



Then baby you've got to try, try a little tenderness



Try a little tenderness, got to believe



Now hold her, squeeze her, never, never leave her



Try a little tenderness
