Song Lyrics

She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing that same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness

Ooh, she may be waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess
And while she's without them
Try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and her care
But a word, so soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's all so easy
Try a little tenderness

But a word, soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it
'Cause women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's all so easy
Just try a little tenderness

You've gotta try

You've gotta hold her
You've got to squeeze her
You have to try
You've got to try
And always please her

You won't regret it
You won't regret it
Oh, try a little tenderness
