Just a little tenderness   At the end of the day   Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away      Cold, cold di world so cold   Mi waash someone to have and to hold   Ina di nite, when di feelings a bite   Hug mi up, squeeze mi up mek mi feel right   Forget di problems, everybody have dem   Tonight mi just naah feature dem   I, just wanna lay with you,   And be an island in this sea of confusion      Just a little tenderness   At the end of the day   Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away   Just a little tenderness   With the lights down low,   When the world is just two people,   And love is all we need to know      Everybody´s got an idea   Of what's right, what's right for me   I'm just tryin' to survive and   Live my life positively   This one wants to educate me   That one wants to dominate me   The other one tryin' to wear me down   Talkin' outta both sides of the mouth, oh   I, just wanna lay with you,   And be an island in this sea of confusion      Just a little tenderness   At the end of the day   Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away   Just a little tenderness   With the lights down low,   When the world is just two people,   And love is all we need to know      I, just wanna lay with you,   And be an island in this sea of confusion   Just a little tenderness   At the end of the day   Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away   Just a little tenderness   With the lights down low,   When the world is just two people,   And love is all we need to know      Just a little tenderness   At the end of the day   Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away   Just a little tenderness   At the end of the night   When the world is just two people,      And everything's gonna be alright....
