Try A Little Tenderness

I'm gonna give my love to you

I'll show you what good love will do

It all comes down to what you give

Try a little tenderness

It'll open your heart up like a flower

Tenderness has got the power

It all comes down to the way you live

Try a little tenderness



When you're down

When you're weary

When all hope is gone

And you can't go on

When you're down

Done with fighting

Try a little tenderness



Everybody's always in such a rush

Everybody's caught up in the crush

When all we really need

Is a human touch

Try a little tenderness



When you're down

When you're weary

When all hope is gone

And you can't go on

When you're down

Done with fighting

Try a little tenderness



I'm gonna a give my love to you

And show you what your love will do

If you're ready to give up on the human heart

Try a little tenderness



I'm just tryin' to make it thru everyday

And leave a little lovin' along the way

Why does evrything have to be so damn hard

Try a little tenderness



When you're down

When you're weary

When all hope is gone

And you can't go on

When you're down

Done with fighting

Try a little tenderness
