Try A Little Tenderness

[Verse 1]
She may be weary
Some girls, they get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But although she's weary
Try a little tenderness
That's all you got to do, now

[Verse 2]
I know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For the things that she'll never, never possess
But while she's there waiting
Go on and try a little tenderness
That's all you got to do, now

[Bridge]
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no, no, no
She has her grief and care
But the soft words, are spoken so gentle, gentle, gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bear

[Verse 3]
You, you won't regret it, no, no
Some girls don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness, oh yeah
But it's all, it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try a little tenderness, I know

[Outro]
Hold her, don't tease her, never leave her
Try, try a little tenderness baby, now, oh yeah, oh girl
You gotta hold that girl, don't tease that girl
Never leave her, you just sock it to her
You just sock it to her
Try a little tenderness, oh baby
Oh try, baby
Hey, now try a little tenderness
