Try A Little Tenderness

Try A Little Tenderness
sung by Otis Redding



Oh she may be weary
And young girls, they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
yeah, yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness
yeah, yeah

You know she's waiting,
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never, never, never, never, possess, yeah, yeah
But while she's there waiting,
without them
Try a little tenderness
[Thats all gotta you do]

It's not just sentimental no, no, no
She has - her grief and care
yeah, yeah, yeah
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It, makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah

You wont regret it
No, no
Young girls they dont forget it
Love is their whole happiness
yeah

But its all so easy
All you gotta do is
try
Try a little
Tenderness
Yeah

All you gotta do is, man
Hold her where you want her
squeeze her
don't tease her
Never leave her
