Try A Little Tenderness

I may get weary

Women do get weary

Wearing the same shabby dress

But to one who's weary

Try a little tenderness



She may be waiting

Just anticipating

All of the things

She may never possess

But while she's waiting

Try a little tenderness



I may be sentimental

But I've had my griefs

And my cares

And just a good word

Soft and gentle

Makes it, makes it

So much easier to bear



She might forget it

Oh but don't let her forget it

Love's got a whole

A whole happiness

'Cause it's so easy

Try a little tenderness



Oh it's so very easy

It's so very easy

Try a little

Try a little

Try a little

Try a little

Try a little



Try a little, try a little

Won't you

'Cause it's so very easy

So very easy

Won't you try

Yes, I'll try

Try a little tender -

Tenderness

I'll try a little tenderness

Oh
