Otis Redding
Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she'll never, never, never
Never possess
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness
(that's all you gotta do)
It's not just sentimental
She has her grief and care
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bear
You won't regret it
Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their only happiness
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try
Try a little tenderness
All you gotta do is, man
Hold her where you want her
Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her
Get to her, try, try
Just try a little tenderness
You got to know how to love her, man
You'll be surprised, man
You've got to squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave
You've got to hold her and rub her softly
Try a little tenderness
You've got to rub her gentle man, all you gotta do
You've got to love her, squeeze her, don't tease her
Gotta try
Try a little tenderness, watch her groove
You've gotta to know what to do, man
