Try a Little Tenderness Lyrics

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
