Try a little tenderness

(Harry Woods/Jimmy Campbell/Reg Connelly) Oh she may be weary Young girls they do got weary Wearing that same old shabby dress Yeah yeah yeah But when she gets weary Try a little tenderness Oh yeah, that's all you gotta do You know she's there waiting Just anticipating Things that she'll never, never possess No no no But while she's there waiting Try a little tenderness It's not just sentimental, no no no no She has her grief and cares But the soft words That are spoke so gently, yeah It makes it easier, easier to bear You won't regret it Young girls they don't forget it Love is their only happiness Yeah yeah yeah Its so so easy Try a little tenderness You know what I mean But the soft words They are spoken so gently, yeah, yeah It makes it easier, easier to bear She may be weary young girls they do got weary Wearing that same old shabby dress Yeah yeah yeah But when she gets weary Try a little tenderness Yeah, a little tenderness That's all you've gotta do Listen to me Try, try, try, try One time for the last time A little bit of tenderness tenderness, tenderness Ooh, need you, I love you I want you tonight, love me, baby A little bit of tenderness
