Try A Little Tenderness Lyrics - Otis Redding

Oh, she may be weary 

Young girls they do get weary 

Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah 

... 

But when she gets weary 

Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah 

... 

You know she's waiting

Just anticipating 

For things that she'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah yeah 

... 

But while she's there waiting, 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

It makes it easier, easier to bear, yeah 

... 

You won't regret it, no, no 

... 

Some girls they don't forget it 

Love is their only happiness, 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, try, try 

Just try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah 

... 

You got to know how to love her, man, you'll be surprised, man 

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, ooh yeah yeah yeah

You've got to rub her gentle man, all you gotta do, no no 

You've got to love her, squeeze her, don't tease her 

Gotta try nah nah nah, try 

Try a little tenderness, yeah, watch her groove 

You've gotta to know what to do, man
