Mary Chapin Carpenter - Tender When I Want To Be lyrics

rate me

I have a heart that's proud you bet

I have a mind that won't forget

And I have arms that are strong and yet

Tender when they wanna to be

Well you can be the will that finds the way

And you can be the one who saves the day

But show me tender when it's time to say

Exactly how it ought to be

And I never would've known it darlin'

If I hadn't known about you

You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too

Well something happens when you find someone

Who makes you feel like you can do no wrong

No you don't have to take the whole world on

Just be tender when you want be

And I never would have known it baby

If I hadn't known about you

You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too

So let the waters carry us away

Wave goodbye to the old parade

Baby when we're unafraid

To be tender when we want to be

All the waters wash our cares away

All that we can see are better days

Don't ever let me hesitate

To be tender when I want to be
