Hey, I'm sorry 'bout last night I was wrong to start a fight Now I feel so bad I know you're mad But, please love, hold me tight 'cause I need you Tender loving care Is the only Remedy when you're down And you're lonely T.L.C Won't you give it to me Tender loving care And you know it That's what I want I beg you to show it T.L.C Won't you give it to me I know I'm a fool And I talk too loud I drink and I smoke Till I'm in a cloud But I don't pretend When I say I'm your friend You're quiet and stern As you potter about Determined and grim Like you're moving out Don't leave me this way Oh, how I want you to stay 'cause I need you Tender loving care... I know I'm no good And I let you down Every time I behave Like a godamn clown I know it's a shame And I'm solely to blame Your face is so pale And your eyes resigned I'm forever the fool And forever blind But I promise I'll change Oh baby, don't look so strange 'cause I need you Tender loving care... Only you have seen my tears You're the one who knows my fears Please forgive me now Remember how I've loved you all these years And I still do Tender loving care...
