She may be weary;
women do get weary
wearing the same shabby dress.
And when she's weary
try a little tenderness.
You know she's 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,
and the 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.
