Hush baby, don't cry   Just try to remember the time   When all your pitfalls and fears   Became mine   And we fall apart   Just one thing takes me back to the start      Chorus:   Tenderness   Put my heart to rest   Your tenderness   Hits me to the bone   Tenderness   When my head's a mess   Your tenderness   Keeps me coming home      Hush baby, don't cry   This rings in my head all the time   And still   I tend to forget your words   When I'm the swan in my full dive   Just one thing keeps me alive      Repeat Chorus      Bridge:   And so it seems to me   To all of us here   The answer is clear   That you need a little less stress   And some more tenderness      Repeat Chorus
