Tenderness

I don't know when to start or when to stop
 My luck's like a button
 I can't stop pushing it
 My head feels light
 But I'm still in the dark
 Seems like without tenderness
 There's something missing

 Where is the
 Tenderness
 Where is it?
 I don't know where I am but I know I don't like it
 I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful
 Words are so cheap, but they can turn out expensive
 Words like conviction can turn into a sentence
 I held your hands
 Rings but none on that finger
 We danced and danced
 But I was scared to go much further with it
 Just half a chance
 Make sure that one night you're here but
 Next night you're not
 It always leaves me searching for a little
 Tenderness

 Where is the
 Tenderness?
 Whistling in the graveyard
 Calling up your girlfriend
 Just trying to make her understand
 You're squeezing the telephone like it was her hand
 No question (so many questions)
 She's going to catch you out, boy
 It all seems so underhand
 Now she's the only thing that ever made
 You feel like a man, man, madman, madman

 When you're sick to death of second best, pet
 Why should the morning always find you unimpressed?
 Is your love like a button?
 You can't stop pushing it?
 Oh this all night longing can be such a long time
