Oh ah oh she may be weary
Them young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
Oh yeah oh
When she gets weary
Try a little tenderness
Oh yes oh yes
Oh
You know she's waiting home
Just anticipating
For the things she'll never possess
Oh no no no oh
Well she's there waiting there without them try
Oh just a little little little tenderness
That's what I said
A little tenderness
Ha oh na na na na na na
It's all you gotta do
Or just sentimental
No she has she has she has her griefs and cares
But the soft words they spoke so gentle yeah
And it makes it easiereasier to bear
Hey you won't regret it no
Them young girls they don't forget it
Love is their owntheir own happiness
But it's all it's all so simplepeople now
All you gotta do is try a little tenderness
