Carrie Newcomer - Tenderly With You lyrics

I don't mind the years gone by When I think I'm getting better I don't mind to fall so far When I think I can get up But I mind the anger I have learned to acquire And I mind the tough I've growth to wear around like armor I could live with out you But I don't want to try I could do it all alone But what would it prove and why To get beyond our proud and tough And learn when tenderly enough I just want to be tenderly with you I just want to be tenderly with you When I was a little girl My mother would brush my hair Now I've learned to brush my own And act like I don't care And say, "It's not so hard to be so strong" And do what's right Even when they say it's wrong Yet there days I'd just like to belong Somewhere, I just want to be tenderly with you I just want to be tenderly with you Must we always hurt the ones we love Does push always heave to come to shove I just don't believe that's true There's a hundred ways to guard your heart If you really want to know There's a thousand way to stay at arms length If you really wish it so But I have found that sure resolve A mystery I'm going to solve And a hard shell I will dissolve
