Tenderness Songtext
von Mars Bonfire

She tried to show me how to love
I bit her lips and bruised her arms
No, I hadn′t learned tenderness
She said, "What does love mean to you?"
I grabbed her hair and pulled her down
I looked in her eyes and I laughed

The love I feel is hard and fast
It's for a face and for a night
I don′t mean to own anyone
She laughed and said, "You'll go through hell
You'll live in lonely rooms unknown
And march for my love′s tenderness"


She said, "All your women burn in your flame
As it dies they′ll leave you and take revenge"

I went from her to someone else
And someone else, and someone else
No, I couldn't be satisfied

Where are all the women that I kept warm?
They found other lovers in revenge
The fresh young girls are much too scared
The ones who come to me are cruel
I stand out of view and I watch

I wish that I could find her now
My love is soft, my love is warm
I′d take her to bed tenderly

Yes, I'd take her to bed tenderly
Oh, I′d take her to bed tenderly
