Oh she may be weary And young girls they do get wearied Wearing that same old shaggy dress But when she gets weary Try a little tenderness, (Fandango) You know she's waiting; just anticipating The things that she' never never never never possesses, yeah But while she's there waiting, without them Try just a little bit of tenderness That's all you got to do (this is for you) It's not just sentimental no no She has her grief and her care But soft words they are spoke so gentle It makes it easier, easier to bear You won't regret it, no no Young girls; they never forget it Love is their only happiness But it is so- so easy All you got to do is try Try a little tenderness Squeeze her, don't you tease her, never leave her You've got to, got to, got to try a little tenderness (Ad lib to end)
