Try a Little Tenderness

I may get weary

Women do get weary

Wearing the same shaggy dress

But to one who's weary

Try a little tenderness

She may be waiting

Just anticipating

All of the things she may never possess

♪

But while she's waiting

Try a little tenderness

♪

I may be sentimental

But I have my griefs and my cares

Just a good word, soft and gentle

Makes it, makes it so much easier to bear

She might forget it

Oh, but don't let her forget it

Love's that I hold, hold happiness

♪

'Cause it's so easy

Try a little tenderness

♪

Oh, it's so very easy (it's so very easy)

Try a little (try a little)

Try a little (try a little)

Try a little (try a little, try a little)

Won't you

'Cause it's so very easy (so very easy)

Won't you try? (Yes, I'll try)

Try a little tenderness (tenderness)

I'll try a little tenderness (ooh-ooh)
