Commitments - Try A Little Tenderness Lyrics lyrics

rate me

Oh, she may be weary

Young girls they do get weary

Wearing that same old shaggy dress

But when she gets weary

Try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting

Just anticipating

For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess

But while she's there waiting, without them

Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do, this is for you)

It's not just sentimental, no, no, no

She has her grief and care

But the 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's all so easy

All you gotta do is try a little tenderness

Oh, she may be weary

Young girls they do get weary

Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah

But when she gets weary

Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah

You know she's waiting

Just anticipating

For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah

But while she's there waiting, without them

Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)

It's not just sentimental, no, no, no

She has her grief and care

But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah

It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah

You won't regret it, no, no

Some girls they don't forget it

Love is their only happiness, yeah

But it's all so easy

All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness

Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her

You've got, you've got, you've got

Just try a little tenderness, oh yeah yeah yeah
