Oh she may be weary

Them young girls they do get wearied

Wearing that same old shaggy dress

But when she gets weary

You try a little tenderness


I know shes waiting

Just anticipating

The thing that you'll never never possess

But while she there waiting

Try just a little bit of tenderness

Thats all you got to do


Now it might be a little bit sentimental no

But she has her greaves and care

But the soft words they all spoke so gentle

Yeah yeah yeah

And it makes it easier to bear


Oh she wont regret it, no no

Them young girls they dont forget it

Love is their whole happiness

But its all so easy

All you got to do is try

Try a little tenderness

Yeah

Damn that hart (hard?)

All you got to do is know how to love her

You've got to

Hold her


Squeeze her

Never leave her

Now get to her

Got got got to try a little tenderness
