Try a Little Tenderness

She may be weary

Women do get weary

Wearing the same shabby dress

And when she's weary

Try a little tenderness



Oh, she may be waiting

Just anticipating

Things she may never possess

While she's without them

Try a little tenderness



It's not just sentimental

She has her grief and her care

But a word so soft and gentle

Makes it easier to bear



You won't regret it

Women don't forget it

Love is they're whole happiness

And it's all so easy

Try a little tenderness



But a word

Soft and gentle

Makes it easier to bear



You won't regret it

Cause women don't forget it

Love is their whole happiness

And it's all so easy

Just try a little tenderness



You've gotta try

You've gotta hold her

You've got to squeeze her

You've got to try

You've got to try

And always please her

You won't regret it

You won't regret it

Oh, try a little tenderness
