Try a Little Tenderness
Jimmy Campbell, Reg Connelly, Harry M. Woods
In the hustle of the day we're all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, and a kiss
When a woman loves a man he's a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be if he'll just realise
She may be weary, women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary try a little tenderness
She may be waiting, just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While she's without them, try a little tenderness
It's not just sentimental she has her grief and her care
But 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
And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness
