She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearin' the same shabby dress

And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness

You know she's waitin'
Just anticipatin'
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
And a word that's soft an' gentle
Makes it easier to bear

You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness

It's all so easy
Try a little tenderness

You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness

It's all so easy
Try a little tenderness
