Song Lyrics

Oh she may be weary
And young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she gets weary
You try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For thing that you'll never, never, never, never possess yeah yeah
But while she there waiting without him try little bit of tenderness

That's all you got to do
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah

It makes it easier
Easier to bear, yeah

You won't regret it, no no
Young girls, they don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness, yeah

But it's all so easy
All you got to do is try, try a little, tenderness yeah
All you've gotta do is, man
Hold her way you want 'er
Squeeze her, don't tease her
Never leave her
You got finda try little tenderness, y-y-yeah
(Hold on) nobody love her, hold her the way you wanna
Squeeze 'er don't tease her and never leave

You got to fight to get a little, a little tenderness yeah
Hold 'er the way you wanna, hold her the way you wanna
Squeeze don't tease 'er and never leave 'er

You've gotta find try a little tenderness yeah
Do it man, hold her where you wanna
Squeeze don't tease her and never leave her
You got try, to find a little tenderness yeah

Nobody love her, hold her the way you want her
Squeeze don't tease her and never leave her
You got try, to find a little tenderness yeah
The way you wanna her nobody love her
Squeeze don't tease her and never leave her
Hold on, hold on try to find a little tenderness yeah
