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
