Songtexte Try a Little Tenderness - Percy Sledge

She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she never, never, never possess
While she's there waiting
Try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental
No, no, no
She has her grief and care
But it's a word that spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bear

You won't regret
No, no, no
Some girls, they can forget it
Love is their only happiness
It's all so easy
All you got to do it's try,
Try a little tenderness

Yeah damn that hard
All you got to do is know how to love her
You've got to hold her
Squeeze her
Never leave her
Now get to her
Got, got, got to try a little tenderness
Yeah yeah
Lord have mercy now
All you got to do is take my advice
You've got to hold her
Squeeze her
Never leave her
You've got to hold her
And never
So you got to try a little tenderness
A little tenderness
A little tenderness
A little tenderness
You've got to
Got to, got to
You've got to hold her
Squeeze her
Never leave her
You got to
Got to, got to
Now, now, now
Got, got, got to
Try a little tenderness
Yeah
