Tenderness Lyrics - For Ladies Only - Steppenwolf

She tried to show me how to love 

I bit her lips and bruised her arms 

No, I hadn't learned tenderness 

She asked, "What does love mean to you?" 

I grabbed her hair and pulled her down 

I looked in her eyes and I laughed 

The love, I feel is hard and fast 

It's for a face and for one night 

I don't need to own anyone 

She said, she said, "All your women 

Burn in your flame 

But as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave you 

And seek revenge" 

She laughed and said, "You'll go through Hell 

You'll live in lonely rooms I know 

And watch for my love's tenderness" 

Oh, I went from her to someone else 

And someone else, mmm 

Oh, I couldn't feel satisfied 

She said, she said, "All your women 

Burn in your flame 

And as it dies, as it dies, they'll leave you 

And seek revenge" 

I wish that I could find her now 

My love is soft, my love is warm 

I'd take her to bed tenderly 

Oh, I'd take her to bed tenderly 

Yes, I'd take her to bed tenderly 

Mmm
