Song Lyrics

Oh, she may be weary
Them young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness
Oh, no, no, no, no

It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her griefs and cares, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier
Easier to bear, yeah

She won't forget it, no, no, no
Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their only, only happiness, yeah, yeah
Oh, but when it gets easy, yeah
All you gotta do is try
Try a little tenderness, oh yeah
All you gotta do is try
Hey, you gotta squeeze her, don't tease her, hey never leave her
Get to her, oh no time, hey
And try a little tenderness
Oh, would you do it for me, yeah?
Oh, baby, baby, baby won't you try
You gotta squeeze her, don't tease her, hey never leave her
Got-t-, got-to, na-na-na, hey-hey
Try a little tenderness
Oh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I need you, I need you to try
You gotta hold her and love her
Squeezer her, tease her, yeah
Think-a-thinkin' ba-bop, ooh yeah-yeah, hey!
Try a little tenderness, oh!
