|
| Young girls, they do get weary
|
| Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah yeah
|
| But when she gets me weary
|
| Try a little tenderness
|
| Nah, nah, nah, nah
|
| You know she’s waiting, just anticipating
|
| Things that she’ll never, never, never possess
|
| But while she’s there waiting
|
| Try a little tenderness
|
| That’s all you’ve gotta do
|
| It’s not just sentimental, no no no
|
| She has her grieves and cares
|

| Tenderness, tenderness
|
| All you gotta do, nah nah nah
|
| You gotta know how to love her now, real good
|
| And try a little tenderness
|
| Try a little tenderness
|
| A little tenderness
|
| All you gotta to do is |
