Try A Little Tenderness (45 Version)

Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah, yeah
But, when she gets weary

Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah, yeah

But, while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)
It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care, yeah, yeah, yeah

But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah
You won't regret it, no, no
Some girls they don't forget it

Love is their whole happiness, yeah
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness, yeah
All you gotta do is man, hold her where you want her
Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her

Get to her, just try
Just try a little tenderness, yeah-yeah-yeah
You've got to rub her gentle man
Got to, got to, got to, don't bruise her, no, no
You got to love her, tease her, don't squeeze her

Got to try to, now, now, now
Try, try a little tenderness
Yeah, watch the groove
You gotta know what to do, man
They can survive
