Lyrics

Just try a little tenderness

Darling, believe me
I told you that I loved you but you leave me
Darling, darling,
You'll never know how much I care
It's all right, tonight,
Anyway you want me now it turns right
It's all right, all right,
And I got all the love to share

Just try a little tenderness
Just try and time will do the rest
You know I'll always be
Loving you why can't you see
Just try a little tenderness
It's you and only you know best
And who's to reason why
Oh baby won't you try

Darling, don't tease me
You never try to reason why you please me
Darling, oh darling
Help me 'cause I need you here
It's all right, tonight,
Come closer can't you see I need you, don't fight
I'm all right, it's all right,
Don't you know I'm waiting here

Just try a little tenderness
Just try and time will do the rest
You know I'll always be
Loving you why can't you see
Just try a little tenderness
It's you and only you know best
And who's to reason why
Oh baby won't you try

Just try a little tenderness
Just try and time will do the rest
You know I'll always be
Loving you why can't you see
Just try a little tenderness
It's you and only you know best
And who's to reason why
Oh baby won't you try

Just try a little tenderness
Just try and time will do the rest
You know I'll always be
Loving you why can't you see
Just try a little tenderness
It's you and only you know best
And who's to reason why
