Try a Little Tenderness Lyrics

It's not just sentimental, no no no
She has her grief and cares, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bare, yeah
Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old s***gy dress, yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness,
Oh, that's all you got to do, now

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never never possess, ah no now
But while she's waiting there, all you gotta do is
Try a little tenderness, oh yeah
It's not just sentimental, no no no
She's had her grief and cares, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bare, yeah
You won't regret it, no no
Young girls they don't forget it
Love, love, love is their whole happiness, ah yeah, yeah
But it's all so easy
All you have to do is try a little tenderness, ah tenderness
All you have to do is try a little tenderness
All you have to do is be nice
Try a little tenderness

Squeeze her, don't leave her,
Try a little tenderness (repeat)
