Try a Little Tenderness Songtext
von Vernon Burch

Oh, she may be weary
Young girls, they do get weary
Wearing that same old disco dress, yeah
But while she gets weary
Won′t you try a little tenderness?
Hey, yeah

I know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she′ll never, never, never possess, no
But while she's there waiting
Won't you try a little tenderness?
Hey, that′s all you got to do, fellas

Now it may be a little bit sentimental
Y′all remember, she's got a lot of grief and care
Well, but the soft words are spoken so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bear


No, she won′t regret it, uh
Young girls, they don't forget it
Love is their one happiness
Hey, hey, oh, no, ha
But it′s so damn easy
All you got to do is try
Try a little tenderness, hey, yeah

You got to love her, squeeze her, never leave her
Got to, come on, mama, try a little tenderness
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Love her, squeeze her, never leave her
Hold her, kiss her, try a little tenderness
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got to hold her, squeeze her, never leave her

Try a little tenderness
Said try a little tenderness
Hey, hey, you got to love her, squeeze her, never leave her
Honey, ow, got to try a little tenderness
