Try a Little Tenderness

[Verse 1]

I may get weary

Women do get weary

Wearing the same shabby dress

But to one who's weary

Try a little, try a little tenderness, oh oh oh

[Verse 2]

I may be waiting

Just anticipating

All of the things I may never possess

Mmm, but while I'm waiting

Try a little, try a little tenderness

[Bridge]

Now I may be, I may be sentimental

But I wanna say that I've had my griefs, oh, and I've had my cares

And just a good word, soft and gentle

Makes it, makes it easier, easier to bear

[Outro]

Now I might regret it

Oh, but don't let me forget it

Love's all my whole, whole happiness

Mmm, but it's so, so easy

Try a little, oh, try a little tenderness

Tender, tender, tenderness
