Try a Little Tenderness

Oh, she may be weary
 Young girls they do get weary
 Wearing that same old shaggy dress
 But when she gets weary
 Try a little tenderness
 You know she's waiting
 Just anticipating
 For things that she'll never, never, never, never
 possess
 But while she's there waiting, without them
 Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do,
 this
 is for you)
 It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
 She has her grief and care
 But the soft words they are spoke so gentle
 It makes it easier, easier to bear
 You won't regret it, no, no
 Young girls they never forget it
 Love is their only happiness
 But it's all so easy
 All you gotta do is try a little tenderness
 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
 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
 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 only happiness, yeah
 But it's all so easy
 All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness
 Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her
 You've got, you've got, you've got
 Just try a little tenderness, oh yeah yeah yeah
