She tried to show me how to love I bit her lips and bruised her arms No, I hadn't learned tenderness She asked, "What does love mean to you?" I grabbed
Tenderness is greed Yearning is remorse Love me so that I can abuse you Sin after sin I feel endless shame This land is afraid of the light This soul
I'm free 'Cause Jesus loves me In spite of my being weak I know my Abba He delights in me I see everything differently My brokenness has been kissed
I'm gonna give my love to you I'll show you what good love will do It all comes down to what you give Try a little tenderness It'll open your heart up
You must think that I'm a fool This twisted tenderness just leaves me cool You've got me in a mess, you know it's true Out in the wilderness here without
In the hustle of the day, we're all inclined to miss Little things that mean so much, a word, a smile and a kiss When a woman loves a man, he's a hero
I don't know when to start or when to stop My luck's like a button, I can't stop pushing it My head feels light but I'm still in the dark Seems like without
The sun comes up in the morning Over the neighboring hill Breeze sings the song in the tree top In tune with Mr. Whippoorwill Got to have tenderness

oh she may be weary them young girls they do get wearied wearing that same old funky dress but when she gets weary you try a little tenderness oh man
[This is for you] Ooh she may be weary And them young girls they do get weary Wearing that same old shaggy dress But when they get weary [You gotta] try
I've noticed how few emotions stand the test of time. Feelings come, feelings go, and the days are fine. Night is dark, night is cold, Passion lies down
Oh, she may be weary Young girls, they do get wearied Wearing same old shaggy dress When she gets weary, try a little tenderness You know she's waiting
She was always alone Kept herself under lock and key Just her sorrows for all to see She would break up and cry for me Throw her away Blow the ash from
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
I need to figure this out And find where my place is I don't mean to threaten anyone No need to get so defensive You say you're with me I know you don
Oh, she may be weary Young girls, they do got weary Wearing that same old shabby dress Yeah, yeah, yeah But when she gets weary Try a little tenderness
Be nice to her whenever you can And as you cross the street always hold her hand And you'll find out Tenderness goes a long, long way So, smile at her
