Song Lyrics

Oh she may get weary
Them young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
Yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness,
Oh my my hm

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that you'll never
Never, never, never, never possess, yeah
But while she's waiting
And without them
Try a little tenderness
That's all you gotta 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 yeah

It makes it easier
Easier to bare, yeah yeah yeah

You won't regret it, no no
Young girls they don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness, yeah yeah yeah
But it's all so easy
All you've gotta do is, try
Try a little tenderness, yeah
All you gotta do is, man

Hold her where you want her
Squeeze her, don't tease her
Never leave her, get to her, got to
Just try, try a little tenderness, oh yeah
You got to know how to love her, man, get to her
You got to squeeze her
Don't tease her, never leave
You got to hold her
And brother, something else

Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah
You've got to rub against her man, get to her
Don't lose her no no
Please her, don't leave her
Squeeze her baby
Just try a little tenderness, oh yeah
Don't tease her, never leave her
Try try try
Tenderness, oh yeah
You got to,
You got to,
Love her gently man
Don't bruise her, no no
You got to, love her, tease her, squeeze her
Try a little tenderness!
