Try a Little Tenderness

Oh she may be weary
Some girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she gets weary
You gotta try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting, just anticipating
The things that you'll never, never, never possess
And while she's there waiting
You gotta try a little tenderness, oh that’s all you gotta do

It’s not just sentimental , no
She has her griefs and her cares
But those soft words, they are spoke so gentle
Makes it easier, easier to bear

You won’t regret it
Those young girls they won’t forget it
Love is their whole happiness, yeah
It’s all so easy, all you gotta do is
Try my baby, you’ve got to try
You've got to love her, don’t squeeze her
Never leave her, get to her and try a little tenderness

You've got to love her, please her, never leave her
Get to her, hey and try a little tenderness

You've got to love her, don't tease her
Never leave her, you’ve got to get to her
You’ve got to now and try a little tenderness

You've got to love her, don't tease her
Never leave her, you’ve got try
Try a little tenderness
