Oh she may be weary
And young girls
They do get wearied
Wearing that
Same old
Shaggy dress yeah
But when she
Gets weary
Try a little tenderness
Yeah oh yeah
You know
She's out waiting
Just anticipating
The things that she'll
Never never never
Never possess yeah
But while she's
There waiting
And without that
Try a little tenderness
That's all
You gotta do now
Sister for you
It's not just sentimental
No no no
She has her grief
And her pain
Yeah yeah
But the soft words
They are spoke
So gentle
Yeah-yeah-yeah
It makes it easier
Easier to bear
No you won't
Regret it no no
Young girls
They won't forget it
Love is their
Only happiness yeah
But it's so so easy
All you gotta do is try
Try a little tenderness
