I may get weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
But to on who's weary
Try a little
Try a little tenderness

Oh, oh, oh
I may be waiting
Just anticipating
All of the things
I may never possess

Mmm, but while I'm waiting
Try a little
Try a little tenderness

I may be, I may be sentimental
But I wanna say
That I've had my griefs
Oh, and I've had my cares

And just a good word
Soft and gentle
Makes it, makes it easier
Easier to bear

Now, I might forget it
Oh, but don't let me forget it
Love's all my whole
Whole happiness

Mmm, and it's so, so easy
Try a little
Oh, try a little tenderness
Tender, tender, tenderness
