Let me tell you now
Oh when I think about the past
So many loves that didn't last for so very long
I was gone, I had the right, to play it through
To take it light, well I guess I was wrong
You kept on saying that game I was playing was gonna bring me down
I didn't want to hear it, just wanted to spread my love all around
Now I know you were right, all I need in my life
Tender love, it's so fine
Tender love, glad you're mine
So open up your heart and let it shine
Tender love, money can't buy, tender love, it's no lie
So baby keep on giving me tender love
♪
Too many times I made you cry, too much pain and far too many lies
After all I did to you, you hung in there, you saw it through
Don't ask me why
I must have been crazy, I almost let you slip away
Glad you're still around and I'm living to love another day, yeah
There's no one else out there for me
You give me everything I need
Tender love, it's so fine
Tender love, glad you're mine
So open up your heart and let it shine
Tender love, money can't buy, tender love, it's no lie
So baby keep on giving me tender love
I've been searching long enough
To know that I have found a treasure in you
I'm never letting go 'cause no pleasure in this world can rise above
Tender love, oh baby
♪
There's no one else out there for me
You give me everything that I need
Tender love, it's so fine
Tender love, glad that you're mine
So open up your heart and let it shine
Tender love, money can't buy, tender love, it's no lie
So baby keep on giving me tender love
