Tender When I Want To Be Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

I have a heart that's proud you bet 

I have a mind that won't forget 

And I have arms that are strong and yet 

Tender when they wanna to be 

Well you can be the will that finds the way 

And you can be the one who saves the day 

But show me tender when it's time to say 

Exactly how it ought to be 

And I never would've known it darlin' 

If I hadn't known about you 

You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too 

Well something happens when you find someone 

Who makes you feel like you can do no wrong 

No you don't have to take the whole world on 

Just be tender when you want be 

And I never would have known it baby 

If I hadn't known about you 

You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too
