Overall Meaning

The lyrical content of Choir! Choir! Choir!'s song Tenderness speaks to the importance of showing affection and empathy towards a woman who may be going through difficult times. The opening lyrics address how women can often become weary in life, especially when societal pressures to conform to a certain appearance or behavior are placed upon them. However, the song emphasizes the importance of treating these women with tenderness, a gentle and caring approach that can help to alleviate their struggles. The use of repetition in the chorus, where the phrase "try a little tenderness" is repeated several times, emphasizes just how crucial it is to show love and empathy towards others.


The song's lyrics also touch on relationships, stating that love is a young girl's whole happiness. It encourages men to know how to love their partners by holding them, squeezing them, and never leaving them. The line "Now it might be a little bit sentimental no, but she has her greavs and care" highlights the idea that even if showing tenderness feels overly sentimental or cheesy, it can still have a profound impact on the person receiving it.


Overall, Tenderness is a powerful reminder that showing empathy and love towards others, particularly women who face societal pressures and difficulties, can have a tremendous impact on their lives.

I don't know when to start or when to stop
My luck's like a button
I can't stop pushing it
My head feels light
But I'm still in the dark
Seems like without tenderness
There's something missing
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Where is it?
I don't know where I am but I know I don't like it
I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful
Words are so cheap, but they can turn out expensive
Words like conviction can turn into a sentence
I held your hands
Rings but none on that finger
We danced and danced
But I was scared to go much further with it
Just half a chance
Make sure that one night you're here but
Next night you're not
It always leaves me searching for a little
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness?
Whistling in the graveyard
Calling up your girlfriend
Just trying to make her understand
You're squeezing the telephone like it was her hand
No question (so many questions)
She's going to catch you out, boy
It all seems so underhand
Now she's the only thing that ever made
You feel like a man, man, madman, madman
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Tenderness
Tenderness
Where is it?
I held your hands
Rings but none on that finger
We danced and danced
But I was scared to go much further with it
Just half a chance
Make sure that one night you're here but
Next night you're not
It always leaves me searching for a little
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness?
When you're sick to death of second best, pet
Why should the morning always find you unimpressed?
Is your love like a button?
You can't stop pushing it?
Oh this all night longing can be such a long time
