TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS
Harry Woods

Reg Connelly

Oh, she may be weary,
and young girls, they do get weary,
wearin' that same old shaggy dress, yeah.

But when she gets weary,
try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah.

You know she's waiting, just anticipatin'
the things that she never, never, never possesses,
yeah.

But while she's there waiting,
try a little tenderness.

It's not just sentimental, no, no, no.
She has her grief and care.

But for soft words they all spoke so gentle, yeah,
it makes it easier, easier to bear.

You won't regret it.
Young girls, they don't forget it.
Love is their own happiness, yeah.

But it's all so easy,
all you gotta do is
try a little tenderness.

All you gotta do is
squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her.

Got to, got to, got to try a little tenderness,
yeah, yeah.

All you got to do is
squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her.

Got to, got to, got to try a little tenderness,
yeah.
