| First I rise, then I fall
|
| Seems like you don’t want the love
|
| Of this man at all
|
| And it’s sure been a lonely time
|
| Right up to the time I met you
|
| So if you take a love like mine
|
| Be tender with my love;
|
| You know how easy it is to hurt me
|
| Fanny, be tender with my love,
|
| 'Cause it’s all that I’ve got
|
| And my love won’t desert me
|
| So you say to yourself, boy,
|
| You’re out of your brain;
|
| Do you think I’m gonna stand here
|
| All night in the rain?
|
| And it’s the start of a love affair
|
| The moment when I first met you
|
| And if you want I’ll take you there;
|
| Be tender with my love;
|
| You know how easy it is to break me
|
| Fanny, be tender with my love,
|
| 'Cause it’s all that I’ve got
|
| And my love won’t forsake me.
|
| With my love,
|
| Our love will seal it together.
|
| Oh, with our love,
|
| You made a promise
|
| You’ll always love me forever.
|
| Be tender with my love;
|
| You know how easy it is to break me
|
| Fanny, be tender with my love,
|
| 'Cause it’s all that I’ve got
|
| And my love won’t forsake me. |
