Oh she may be weary And young girls they do get wearied Wearing that same old shaggy dress Yeah yeah But when she gets weary Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental, no no no She has her grief and care But the soft words, there soft words They are spoke so gentle.
It makes it easier Easier to bare, yeah
You won't regret it, no no Young girls they don't forget it Love is their whole happiness But it's all so easy All you've gotta do is Try a little tenderness Oh baby You got to Squeeze her, don't tease her Never leave her, get to got to Just try, try a little tenderness, yeah yeah yeah You got to squeeze her Don't tease her, never leave You got to no no no Oh baby Little tenderness
