Lyrics:

I may get weary



Women do get weary



Wearing the same shabby dress



But to one who's weary



Try a little tenderness







She may be waiting



Just anticipating



All of the things



She may never possess



But while she's waiting



Try a little tenderness







I may be sentimental



But i've had my griefs



And my cares



And just a good word



Soft and gentle



Makes it, makes it



So much easier to bear







She might forget it



Oh but don't let her forget it



Love's got a whole



A whole happiness



'cause it's so easy



Try a little tenderness







Oh it's so very easy



It's so very easy



Try a little



Try a little



Try a little



Try a little



Try a little







Try a little, try a little



Won't you



'cause it's so very easy



So very easy



Won't you try



Yes, I'll try



Try a little tender -



Tender -



-ness



I'll try a little tenderness
