Try A Little Tenderness

She may be weary, women do get weary Wearing the same shabby dress And when she's weary Try a little tenderness Oh, she may be waiting just anticipating Things she may never possess And while she's without them Try a little tenderness It's not just sentimental She has her grief and her care But a word so soft and gentle Makes it easier to bear You won't regret it, women don't forget it Love is their whole happiness And it's all so easy Try a little tenderness But a word soft and gentle Makes it easier to bear You won't regret it, women don't forget it Love is their whole happiness And it's all so easy Just try a little tenderness You've gotta try You've gotta hold her You've got to squeeze her You have to try You've got to try And always please her You won't regret it You won't regret it Oh, try a little tenderness
