Try a Little Tenderness

In the hustle of the day, we're all inclined to miss

Little things that mean so much, a word, a smile and a kiss

When a woman loves a man, he's 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

She may be waiting, just anticipating

Things she may never possess

While she's without them, try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental

She has her grief and her care

But a word that's soft and gentle

Makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it, women don't forget it

Love is their whole happiness

And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness
