Ooh she may be weary
Young girls
They do get weary
Wearin' that same old
Shabby dress yeah
Yeah-yeah
But when
She gets weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waitin'
Just anticipatin'
Things that she'll
Never never
Never possess
Yeah yeah yeah
But while she's
There waiting
And without them
Try a little tenderness

And her care
