Try a Little Tenderness

She may be weary, women do get weary
 Wearing the same shabby dress
 And when she's weary
 Try a little tenderness
 ♪
 Oh, she may be waiting just anticipating
 Things she may never possess
 And 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 is their whole happiness
 And it's all 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 is their whole happiness
 And it's all so easy
 Just try a little tenderness
 You've gotta try
 You've gotta hold her
 You've got to squeeze her
 You have to try
 You've got to try
 And always please her
 You won't regret it
 You won't regret it
 Oh, try a little tenderness
