She may be weary,   Women do get weary   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.   While she’s without them,   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.
