The Commitments - Try a Little Tenderness Lyrics

Oh she may be weary
And young girls
They do get wearied
Wearin' that same old shaggy dress

But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness
[Inaudible]

You know she's waitin'
Just anticipatin'
The things that she never
Never never never possesses, yeah

But while she's there waitin' without them
Try a little tenderness
Thats all you got to do, this is for you

It's not just sentimental, no no
She has her grief and her care, care
But the soft words, they all spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah

You won't regret it, no, no
Young girls they never forget it
Love is their only happiness
But it is all so easy

All you got to do is
Try a little tenderness
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Squeeze her, if you tease her
Never leave her
You got to, you got to
You got to, you got to
Try a little tenderness
Yeah, yeah

Squeeze her, if you tease her
Never leave her
You got to, you got to
You got to, you got to
Try a little tenderness
Yeah, yeah

You got to squeeze her, if you tease her
Never leave her
You got to, you got to
You got to
Yeah, yeah, a little tenderness

Yeah, you got to squeeze her, if you tease her
Never leave her
You got to, you got to
You got to, you got to
Try a little tenderness
Yeah

Baby, you got to, you got to squeeze her
Do it till you tease, and never let her go
You got to, you got to
You got to, you got to
Try a little tenderness
Yeah, oh baby, oh, oh yeah

You got to squeeze her
Don't leave her
You got to, you got to
You got to, you got to
Try a little tenderness
Yeah yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
