Try a Little Tenderness (Live) Ooh she may be weary Young girls they do get weary Wearing that same old shaggy dress But when she gets weary Try a little tenderness You know she's waiting Just anticipating The thing that she'll never, never, never possess But while she's there waiting Try a little tenderness It's not sentimental, no, no, no She has her greaves and cares But the soft words they are spoken so gentle makes it easier to bear, yeah You won't regret it, no Young girls they don't forget it Cause love is their whole, whole happiness And its all so easy All you've gotta do is try All you've gotta do is squeeze her Don't tease her Never leave her Try a little tenderness Don't leave her, no, no Try a little tenderness
