Lyrics Try A Little Tenderness - The Commitments

Oh, she may be weary
And young girls, they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The things that she'll never, never, never, never possesses, yeah
But while she's there waiting without them
Try a little tenderness
That's all you gotta do, this is for you

It's not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and her care
But the soft words, they are 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's all so easy
All you gotta do is try a little tenderness
Oh yeah, yeah
Oh yeah

Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her
You've got to, you've got to, you've got to, you've got to
Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah

Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her
You've got to, you've got to, you've got to, you've got to
Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah

You've got to squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her
You've got to, you've got to, you've got to
Yeah, a little tenderness, oh, tenderness, yeah, yeah

You've got to squeeze her, don't you tease her, never leave her
You've got to, you've got to, you've got, you've got to
Try a little tenderness, yeah, oh, woah

Baby, you've got, you've got to
Squeeze her, don't you tease her, never leave her
You've got to, you've got to, you've got to
Try a little tenderness, yeah, oh baby

You've got to squeeze her, never leave her
You've got to, you've got to, you've got to
Got to, got to, got to, got to
Try a little tenderness, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah
