Ooh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shabby dress
And if you do get weary
You gotta try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she can never never never possess
While she's there waiting
You got to try a little tenderness
That's all you gotta do now
It's not just, sentimental no, no, no
We had, we shared
The soft words, they have spoken so gently
It makes it easier, easier to bear
Oh she won't forget it
Young girls they won't forget it
'Cause love is their only happiness
While she's there waiting
What you got to do now
Is try a little tenderness, yeah
You've got to love her, squeeze her, never leave her
Hey, good God I say, I say
Try a little tenderness
Try a little tenderness
I said, love her, leave her, never squeeze her
Hey, good God now
Try a little tenderness
Try a little tenderness
All you got to do is love her, squeeze her, never leave her
Got to, got to...
Try a little tenderness
Try a little tenderness
I say, love her, squeeze her, never leave her
Good God
Try a little tenderness
Oh never leave
Try a little tenderness
