She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/a/al+jarreau/try+a+little+tenderness_20995800.html ]
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 care
And a 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 hapiness
It's all so easy
Try a little tenderness
