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
