She may get weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she?s weary
Try a little tenderness

She may be 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 her care
But a word so soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear

You won?t regret it
Women don?t forget it
Love's their whole happiness
And it's oh so easy
Try a little tenderness

But a word soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won?t regret it
Women don?t forget it
Love's their whole happiness
And it's oh so easy
Just try a little tenderness

You got to try
You?ve got a whole
You?ve got to squeeze her
You have to try
You?ve got to try
And always please her
You won?t regret
You won?t regret it
Try a little tenderness
