She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearin' the same
shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness
Oo she may be waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess
And while she's without them
Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief
and her care
But a word
so 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
But a word
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
Just try a little tenderness
You've gotta try
You've gotta hold her
You've gotta squeeze her
You have to try
You've got to try
And always please her
You won't regret it
You won't regret it
Oh try a little tenderness
