Steppenwolf - Tenderness lyrics

She tried to show me how to love I bit her lip and bruised her arms No I hadn't learned Tenderness She asked, "what does love mean to you?" I grabbed her hair and pulled her down I looked in her eyes and I laughed The love I feel is hard and fast It's for a face and for one night I don't need to own anyone She said; she said all your women burn in your flame But as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave you and seek revenge She laughed and said "You'll go thru hell You'll live in lonely rooms unknown And watch for my lost Tenderness" I went from her to someone else and someone else No, I couldn't be satisfied She said; she said all your women burn in your flame And as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave you and seek revenge I wish that I could find her now My love is soft, my love is warm I'd take her to bed tenderly Oh yes I'd take her to bed tenderly
