Lyrics
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,
wearin' the same shabby dress,
and when she's weary,
try a little tenderness . . .
You know she's waitin'
just anticipatin''
things she may never possess
while she's without them
try a little tenderness . . .
It's not just sentimental,
she has her grief and her care,
and a word that's soft an' gentle,
makes it easier to bear . . .
You won't regret it,
women don't forget it,
love is their whole happiness,
it's all so easy,
try a little tenderness . . .
< instrumental break >
You won't regret it,
women don't forget it,
love is their whole happiness,
it's all so easy,
try a little tenderness . . .
