Try A Little Tenderness (Expanded Edition Bonus Track)

(Album: I'm A Woman - 1963)

Oh, she may get weary
Them young girls, they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness
Oh-may may mmm

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that you'll never never never never possess, yeah yeah
But while she's waiting, and without them
Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)

It's not just sentimental, no no no
She has her grief and care, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah yeah yeah

You won't regret it, no
Young girls, they don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness, yeah yeah yeah yeah
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try

Try a little tenderness, yeah
All you gotta do is man, hold her where you want her

Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her
Get to her, got to try
Try a little tenderness, ooh yeah
You got to know how to love her, man

Get to her
You've got to
Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave
You've got to hold her and rub her softly
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah
You've got to rub against her, man

Get to her
Don't bruise her, no no
Please her, don't leave her, squeeze her
Oh yeah nah nah nah try
Try a little tenderness, oh yeah yeah, squeeze her
Don't tease her, never leave her, try try try yeah
Tenderness oh yeah, you've got to, you've got to yeah yeah
Rub her gentle man, don't bruise her no no
You've got to love her, tease her, squeeze her yeah
Try a little tenderness
