I may get weary, women do get weary Wearing the same shabby dress But to one who's weary try a little Try a little tenderness Oh, I may be waiting just anticipating All of the things I may never possess But while I'm waiting try a little Try a little tenderness Now I, I may be, I may be sentimental But I wanna say that I've had my griefs Oh, and I've had my cares And just a good word soft and gentle Makes it, makes it easier Easier to bear Now, I might forget it Oh, but don't let me forget it Love's all my whole, whole happiness And it's so, so easy Try a little Oh, try a little tenderness Tender, tender, tenderness
