Try A Little Tenderness

She may be weary

Women do get weary

Wearing the same shabby dress

And when she's weary

Try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting

Just anticipating things she may never possess

While she's without them,

Try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental

She has her grief and care

And a word that's soft and gentle

Makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it

Women don't forget it

Love is their whole happiness

It's all so easy

Try a little tenderness

She may be weary

Women do get weary

Wearing the same shabby dress

And when she's weary

Try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting

Just anticipating things she may never possess

While she's without them

Try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental

She has her grief and care

And a word that's soft and gentle

Makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it

Women don't forget it

Love is their whole happiness

It's all so easy

Try a little tenderness
