She may be weary
Women do get wearied
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess
And while she's without them
Try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
And the word, the word that makes it gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
It's oh so easy
Try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
But the word, the word that's soft and gentle
Makes it so much easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
It's oh so easy
Try a little tenderness

It's oh so easy
So very easy
It's oh so easy
So very easy
It's oh so easy
Try a little tenderness
