She may be weary

Women do get weary

Wearing the same shabby dress

And when she's weary

Try a little tenderness

You konw she is waiting

Just anticipating

Things she may never possess

But while she's without them

Try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental

She has her griefs

And her cares

But a word so soft and gentle

Makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it

Women don't forget it

Love is their whole happiness

And it's all so easy

Try a little tenderness

Just try a little tenderness
