She may weeping
Young girls... they do get weary
Wearing that same old Shaggy dress
But when she get worried
Try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The things that she'll never never posses.....no no no
But while she's waiting there - for that
All you gotta do...
Is try a little tenderness... baby baby

Baby it's not...
(baby it's not)
Sentimental
(Sentimental)
She has dreams and cares, oh yeah
But these soft words...
(these soft words)
Spoken gentle
(Spoken gentle)
It's makes is easier, easier to bare

You won't regret it
Young girls... they don't forget it
No they don't forget, no, no
Love is their only happiness
It's all so easy
Just try, try, try a little tenderness

Chorus
Try a little tenderness
Give her all your love forever...
Give her all your tenderness
Cause she needs your love forever
Try a little tenderness
Give her all your love forever...
Give her all your tenderness
Cause she needs your love forever
Try a little tenderness
Give her all your love forever...
Give her all your tenderness
Cause she needs your love forever

(repeat till fade...)
