In the hustle of today   We're all inclined to miss   Little things that mean so much   A word, a smile, a kiss   When a woman loves a man   He's a hero in her eyes   And a hero he can always be   If he'll just realize      She may be weary   Women do get weay   Wearing the same shabby dress   And when she's weary   Try a little tenderness      You know she's waiting   Just anticipating   Things she may never possess   But while she's without 'em   Try a little tenderness      It's not just sentimental   She has her grief and care   And a word that's soft and gentle   Makes it easier to bear      You won't regret it   Women don't forget it   Love is their whole happiness   It's all so easy   Try a little tenderness      You won't regret it   Women don't forget it   Love is their whole happiness   It's all so easy   Try a little tenderness
