Amina Shareef Ali - A Place to Remember the Dead

The Tenderness In Me

Saturday night, didn't get home 'til five
Sunday morning, I'm awake by nine
There's something inside that won't let me sleep
Is it the savageness or the tenderness in me

I pulled that graveyard shift being a fool for you
Sugar, I know you didn't ask me to
But once I got off work, I didn't want to leave
You sure bring out the tenderness in me

And if words are weapons, and if mine hurt you
I think I deserve love, don't mean I deserve you

But when you stood before that noisy hall of men
You could have had any one, or all of them
Still every song you sang it felt was meant for me
And what else welled up but that tenderness in me

But you see what I am, and what I'll never be
So I can't decide whether you're kind or mean
To pretend I'm anything but a beast
But you can draw out the tenderness in me

And nothing's meant to be, not by fate or god
So what if I meant for us to be, if you did not

So when you awaken from your daydream
You'll see you're better off without someone like me
So you can make me take my things and leave
But you can't put out the tenderness in me
You can make me take my things and leave
But you can't put out the tenderness in me
