Lyrics
Find another songOh she may be weary,
and young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress,
but when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, (Fandango)
You know she's waiting
just anticipating
The things that she' never never never never possess, yeah
But while she there waiting, with out them
Try just a little bit of tenderness
That's all you got to do (this is for you)
It's not just sentimental no no,
she has her grief and her care
But soft words they are spoke so gentle
It makes it easier, easier to bear
You won't regret it, no no,
Young girls they never forget it
Love is their only happiness
But its all so easy,
all you got to do is try
Try a little tenderness
Squeeze her, don't you tease, never leave her
got got got to try a little tenderness
