In the hustle of today, we're all inclined to miss Those little things that mean so much, a word, a smile, a kiss When a woman loves a man, he's a hero in her eyes And a hero he can always be if he'll just realize She may be weary, women do get weary Wearing the same shabby dress And when she's weary, try a little tenderness You know she's waiting, just anticipating Things she may never possess While she's without them, try a little tenderness It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and care And a word that's soft and gentle makes it easier to bear You won't regret it, women don't forget it, love is their whole happiness It's all so easy, try a little tenderness Try a little tenderness Try a little tenderness It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and care And a word that's soft and gentle makes it easier to bear You won't regret it, women don't forget it, love is their whole happiness It's all so easy, try a little tenderness
