In the hustle of the day, were all inclined to miss Little things that mean so much A word, a smile, and a kiss When a woman loves a man, hes a hero in her eyes And a hero he can always be if hell just realize She may be weary, women do get weary Wearing the same shabby dress And when shes weary, try a little tenderness She may be waiting, just anticipating Things she may never possess While shes without them, try a little tenderness It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and her care But a word thats soft and gentle makes it easier to bear You wont regret it, women dont forget it Love is their whole happiness And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness
