She may be weary, women do get weary Wearing the same shabby dress But when she's weary, try a little tenderness You know she's waiting, just anticipating Things that she'll never 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 and women don't forget it 'Cause love is their whole happiness It's all so easy, try a little tenderness Oh won't you try try try a little tenderness?
