A Little Tenderness

(앨범: You Could Have Been With Me - 1981)

You know the way I feel about you
Don't wanna spend my life without you
So isn't it time for you to show me
How badly you wanna get to know me now

You're never gonna make a Romeo
I don't want you to be
If you can find a way to let me know
I wanna know you care about me

Try a little tenderness has it ever crossed your mind?
Try a little tenderness I think you'll be surprised at what you find
Gotta let togetherness prove without a doubt you're really mine
Try a little tenderness sometime

All of your moves were made to get me
You got no further since you met me
You still won't treat me like I want you to
Every night's like a one-night stand with you

Is it really worth the waiting?
Well I still don't know
If you think that dedication is a record on a radio-show?
Try a little tenderness has it ever crossed your mind?

Ev'ry time I see you smiling there could be a silver lining
Don't let this chance be wasted
Make me feel appreciated
Show you're thinking of me all the time, oh!

Try a little tenderness has it ever crossed your mind?
Try a little tenderness try a little tenderness
Try a little tenderness sometime
