Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away
Cold, cold di world so cold
Mi want someone fi have and fi hold
Ina di night, when di feelings a bite
Hug mi up, squeeze mi up mek mi feel right
Forget di problems, everybody have dem
Tonight mi just naah feature dem
I, just want to lay with you,
And be an island in this sea of confusion
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away
Just a little tenderness
With the lights down low,
When the world is just two people,
And love is all we need to know
Everybody has got an idea
Of what's right, what's right for me
I'm just trying to survive and
Live my life positively
This one wants to educate me
That one wants to dominate me
The other one tryin' to wear me down
Talkin' outta both sides of the mouth,
I just want to lay with you, oh
And be an island in this sea of confusion
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs to take her fears away
Just a little tenderness
With the lights down low,
When the world is just two people,
And love is all we need to know
Ohhh, la la la la (la la la.) ohh
Mmm and I, I just wanna to lay with you, oh
And be an island in this sea of confusion
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs to take her fears away
Just a little tenderness
When the lights are low,
When the world is just two people,
And love is all we need to know
Tenderness
Mmm. At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs to take her fears away
Just a little tenderness
Mmm deep in the night
When the world is just two people,
And everything's gonna be alright
