Try A Little Tenderness
C?ssia Eller Lyrics

Oh she may be weary
The woman may be tired or worn out

And young girls they do get wearied
Even young girls can become weary

Wearing that same old shaggy dress
She may be wearing the same old clothes

But when she gets weary
When she becomes exhausted

You try a little tenderness
Try showing compassion and understanding

You know she's waiting
The woman is waiting for something

Just anticipating
She is looking forward to something

For thing that you'll never, never, never, never possess yeah yeah
She may be expecting something that you cannot give her

But while she there waiting without him try little bit of tenderness
In the meantime, try being kind and compassionate towards her

That's all you got to do
It is not a difficult task

It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
It is not just a gesture of sentimentality

She has her grief and care, yeah yeah yeah
She has her own problems and worries

But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah
Kind and gentle words can make things easier for her

It makes it easier
The gentle words make it easier for her to cope

Easier to bear, yeah
Easier for her to handle the situation

You won't regret it, no no
You will not end up regretting this gesture

Young girls, they don't forget it
Young girls remember such acts of kindness

Love is their whole happiness, yeah
For young girls, love is what makes them happy

But it's all so easy
It is a simple thing to do

All you got to do is try, try a little, tenderness yeah
Just try showing some compassion

All you've gotta do is, man
