She may be weary
Women they do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness

She may be waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess
And while she's waiting
Try a little tenderness

For it's not just sentimental
She has a grief and her care
But her word soft and gently
Makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it
Cause women they don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's oh so easy to try a little tenderness

(music)

But her word soft and gently
Makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it
Cause women they don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's oh so easy to try a little tenderness

You've got to try
You've got to hold on
And you've got to squeeze her

You've got to fight
You're gotto fight and always please her
You won't regret it, you won't regret it, no

Try a little tender...ness
