Try a Little Tenderness Lyrics:
Oh, she may be weary
And young girls, they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
Yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah
Oh my, not
You know she’s waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she’ll never
Never, never, never
Possess, yeah yeah
But while she’s there waiting
And without them
Try a little tenderness
That’s all you gotta do
It’s not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care
Yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words
They are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier
Easier to bear, yeah
You won’t regret it, no, no
Some girls, they don’t forget it
Love is their whole happiness, yeah
But it’s all so easy
All you gotta do is try
try a little tenderness, yeah
All you gotta do is, man
hold her where you want her
Squeeze her, don’t tease her
Never leave her
Get to her, try, try
Just try a little tenderness
Ooh yeah yeah yeah
You got to know how to love her
Man, you’ll be surprised, man
You’ve got to squeeze her
Don’t tease her, never leave
You’ve got to hold her and rub her softly
Try a little tenderness
Ooh yeah yeah yeah
You’ve got to rub her gentle man
All you gotta do
Don’t got, don’t bruise her, no no
You’ve got to love her, tease her
Don’t squeeze her
Gotta try nah nah nah, try
Try a little tenderness, yeah
Watch her groove
You’ve gotta to know what to do, man
Take this advice
You got to love, squeeze
Don’t tease my baby
Love her, no
Try, try, you will try a
Little tenderness, yeah
