Try a Little Tenderness

Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
Yeah yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never never never possess
Yeah yeah yeah
While she's there waiting
Try a little tenderness
That's all you got to do
It's not just sentimental
No no no
She has her grief and care
Yeah yeah
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle
Yeah yeah
It makes it easier --
Easier to bear
You won't regret it
No no
Some girls, they can't forget it
Love is their only happiness
Yeah yeah yeah
But it's all so easy
All you got to do is try --
Try a little gentleness
Yeah
All you got to do is
Hold her
Squeeze her
Never leave them
Try a little tenderness
Hold her
Never leave
You got to --
Got to
Try to --
Tenderness
All you got to do is
Hold her
Squeeze her
Never leave her
Try to
Please her
Love her
Get some --
Try a little tenderness
Oh, you've got to --
Got to try a little tenderness
Hey!
