Try A Little Tenderness

In the hustle of the day, we're all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, or a kiss
When a woman loves a man, he's a hero in her eyes
And a hero he will always be if he'll just realize
That she may be weary, women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary, try a little tenderness
She may be waiting, just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While she's without them, try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and her care
But one word that's soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it, women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness
And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness
