Oh she may be weary
And young girls
They do get wearied
Wearin' that same old shaggy dress
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness
[Inaudible]
You know she's waitin'
Just anticipatin'
The things that she never
Never never never possesses, yeah
But while she's there waitin' without them
Try a little tenderness
Thats all you got to do, this is for you
It's not just sentimental, no no
She has her grief and her care, care
But the soft words, they all spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah
You won't regret it, no, no
Young girls they never forget it
Love is their only happiness
But it is all so easy
All you got to do is
Try a little tenderness
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Squeeze her, if you tease her
Never leave her
You got to, you got to
You got to, you got to
Try a little tenderness

Squeeze her, if you tease her
Never leave her
