Ooh, she may be weary
Young girls

They do get weary
Wearin' that same old
Shabby dress, yeah

Yeah-yeah
But when
She gets weary

Try a little tenderness
You know she's waitin'
Just anticipatin'
'H ngsthatsh6H
Neven neven

Neverpossess
Yeah,yeah,yeah
But while she's
There waiting

And without them
Try a little tenderness
That's what

You gotta do, now
It's not just sentimental
No,no,no

She has her grief
And her care
But the soft words
That are spoke

So gentle, yeah-yeah
You know it-uh
Makes it easier

Makes it easier
For her to bear
Yeah, Itell you now
You won't regret it

No,no,no
Young girls
They don't forget it

Love is their whole
Happiness, yeah
But while so easy
All you gotta do is

Try a little tenderness
Yeah now, you got ta
You got ta know, now

You got ta hold her,
Squeeze her, kiss her,

But don't tease her
You got ta, na-na

Squeeze her,

Never leave her
Make her know
That you wanta

Sock it, sock it
Got tender, tenderness

Kiss her, squeeze her,

Don't tease her
You got to try, try,
Try a little tenderness

Get all you want
You won't regret it
