Ooh she may be weary And young girls they do get weary Wearing that same old shaggy dress But when she get weary try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting Just anticipating The thing that she'll never, never, possess But while she's waiting without them try my little tenderness
Its not just sentimental no no She has her greaves and care But the soft words they are spoken so gentle Yeah it makes it easier easier to bear, yeah
You wont regret it No no, Young girls they dont forget it Love is their whole happiness yeah
But its all so easy You've got to do this try a little Tenderness Yeah You've got to love her Squeeze her Don't tease her Make love [Get to her] Hold her tight Just, just try a little tenderness Thats all you gotta do Youve gotta hold her tight
