Tenderness

I don't know when to start or when to stop

My luck's like a button

I can't stop pushing it

My head feels light

But I'm still in the dark

Seems like, without tenderness, there's something missing

Tenderness

Where is the

Tenderness

Where is it?

I don't know where I am, but I know I don't like it

I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful

Words are so cheap, but they can turn out expensive

Words like conviction can turn into a sentence

I held your hands

Rings, but none on that finger

We danced and danced

But I was scared to go much further with it

Just half a chance

Make sure that one night you're here

But next night you're not

It always leaves me searching for a little

Tenderness

Where is the

Tenderness

Where is the

Tenderness?

Whistling in the graveyard

Calling up your girlfriend

Just trying to make her understand

You're squeezing the telephone like it was her hand

No question (so many questions)

She's going to catch you out, boy

It all seems so underhand

Now she's the only thing that ever made you feel like a man, man

Madman, madman

Tenderness

Where is the

Tenderness

Tenderness

Tenderness

Where is it?

I held your hands

Rings, but none on that finger

We danced and danced

But I was scared to go much further with it

Just half a chance

Make sure that one night you're here

But next night you're not

It always leaves me searching for a little

Tenderness

Where is the

Tenderness?

When you're sick to death of second best, pet

Why should the morning always find you unimpressed?

Is your love like a button?

You can't stop pushing it?

Oh, this all night longing can be such a long time
