Lyrics:

Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she get weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that you'll never, never, possess
But while she's there waiting
Try a little tenderness
It's not sentimental no, no, no
She has her grief and care
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle
It makes it easier to bear
You won't regret it no
Young girls they don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
But it's all so easy
All you got to do is try
All you got to do is squeeze her
Don't tease her, never leave her
Try a little tenderness
Don't leave her, no, no, no
Try a little tenderness
