Try a Little Tenderness by Harry Woods Lyrics
(Verse)
In the hustle of today
We're all inclined to miss
Those little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, a kiss
When a woman loves a man
He's a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be
If he can realize
(Chorus)
She may get weary
Women do get weary
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
But while she's waiting
Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and her care
And a word that's soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
It's all so easy
Try a little tenderness
In the hustle of today
We're all inclined to miss
Those little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, a kiss
When a woman loves a man
He's a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be
If he can realize
(Chorus)
She may get weary
Women do get weary
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
But while she's waiting
Try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and her care
And a word that's soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
It's all so easy
Try a little tenderness
