She may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she get weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that she'll never, never, never, possess
But while she's waiting try a little tenderness
It's not sentimental, no, no, no
She has - her greaves and care
But the soft words they are spoken so gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
No
Young girls they don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's all so easy
I've got to do it straight
I've got to do it
Come on and try
Try a little tenderness
Yeah try
Just keep on trying
Squeeze her
Don't tease her
Never leave her
Try a little tenderness
Don't leave her, no,no
Try a little tenderness
