I've got that tender kind of feeling
For every sot and every knave
Who 'll show sense in reeling
He's no man's boss, no man's slave

I've got that tender kind of feeling
For the one who always speaks his mind
Whose doves get gloves when dealing
With those who join the daily grind

I've got that tender kind of feeling
For the one tangled in a dream
And where the dream runs into truth
His laugh could almost be a scream

I've got that tender kind of feeling
For every woman, for every man
Though utterly defenceless
Still love the best they can

I've got that tender kind of feeling
For every woman, for every man
Though utterly defenceless
Still love the best they can
