Try a Little Tenderness

Oh she may be weary
Those young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she gets weary
You try a little tenderness

I know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that you'll never,never,never,never possess
But while she's there waiting without him
Try a little tenderness
That's all you got to do

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

You won't regret it, no, 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 gotta do is try
Try a tenderness
