Try a little tenderness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While she's without them
Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
And a word that's soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole hapiness
It's all so easy
Try a little tenderness
