She may be weary

Women do get weary

Wearin' the same shabby dress



And when she's weary

Try a little tenderness



You know she's waitin'

Just anticipatin'

Things she may never possess



While she's without them

Try a little tenderness



It's not just sentimental

She has her grief and her care

And a word that's soft an' 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
