Try A Little Tenderness

She may be weary
And them young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old mini skirt dress
But when they get weary
[You gotta] try a little tenderness

[Tell you, might not believe it, but]
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that she'll never, never, possess,no,no
But while [all the time] she's without it
Go to her and try just a little bit of tenderness
[Thats all you gentlemen gotta do]

Oh,but its one thing
It might be a bit sentimental yeah, yeah
She has - her greaves and care
But the soft words [they] are spoken so gentle
Yeah

But, oh, that makes it, makes it easier to bear, yeah
You wont regret it
No no,
Them young girls they dont forget it

[Cause] Love is their whole, whole happiness Yes, yes, yeah
And its all so easy
Come on and try
Try a little Tenderness
Yeah Try
Just keep on trying

You've got to love her
Squeeze her
Don't tease her Make love [Get to her]
Hold her tight

Just, just try a little tenderness
Thats all you gotta do
Youve gotta hold her tight

One more time
You`ve got to love her
hold her Don't tease her
Never leave her
Make love to her
Hold her, man

Try a little tenderness
[Just one time] God have mercy now
All you`ve gotta do
Love her
You've gotta hold her
Don't squeeze her
Never leave her
ou gotta now,now,now
