Try a Little Tenderness
Oh, she may be weary
Young girls, they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress,
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness,
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care,
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bare
You won't regret it, no, no
Some girls, they don't forget it
Love is their only happiness
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness
All you gotta do is, man,
Hold her where you want her
Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her
Get to her drop, drop
Just try a little tenderness
You got to know how to love her, man,
You'll be surprised, man
You've got to squeeze her,
Don't tease her, never leave
You've got to hold her and rub her softly
Try a little tenderness
You've got to rub her, gentle man,
Don't bruise her, no, no
You've got to love her, squeeze her, don't tease her
Gotta drop, drop
Try a little tenderness, watch her groove
You've gotta to know what to do, man
Take this advice
(Quickly fades away)
