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 grief's   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   Oh
