Oh, she may be weary
Them young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old miniskirt dress
But when she gets weary
You try a little tenderness

Oh, man that
Un, hunh
I know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that you'll never, never possess
No no no
But while she there waiting

Try just a little bit of tenderness
That's all you got to do
Now it might be a little bit sentimental no
But she has her greaves and care
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And it makes it easier to bear
Oh, she wont regret it

No, no
Them young girls they don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
Yeah, yeah, yeah
But its all so easy
All you got to do is try
Try a little tenderness
Yeah
Damn that hart (hard?)

All you got to do is know how to love her
You've got to
Hold her
Squeeze her
Never leave her
Now get to her
