Try A Little Tenderness

In the hustle of today

We're all inclined to miss

Little things that mean so much

Like a word, a smile, a kiss

When a woman loves a man

He is a hero in her eyes

And a hero, he can always be

If he'll just realize

She may be weary

Women do get weary

Wearing the same shabby dress

And when she's weary

Try a little tenderness

Now, you know that she's waiting

Just anticipating

Things she may never possess

And while she's without them

Try a little tenderness

Now, it's not just sentimental

She has her grief and care

And a word, a word that's soft and gentle

Makes it easier to bear

Oh, you won't regret it

And women don't forget it

Love is their whole happiness

It's all so easy

Try a little tenderness

You won't regret it

Just try a little tenderness
