Try A Little Tenderness lyrics

[originally performed by Otis Redding]

O, she may be weary
Them young girls, they do get queery
Wearin that same old shaggy dress,o yeah
O, when she gets weary, try a little tenderness,o yes,o yes
O
You know she s waiting,o,just anticipating,o
For the things she ll never possess,o no no no
While she s there waiting
Try, o just a little, o just a little little little tenderness
That s what I said, a little tenderness
Whoa,nana na nana na
It s all you gotta do
It s not, ha, oo just sentimental, no
She has, she has, she has
Her griefs and cares,oo
But the soft words they spoke so gentle, yea
And it makes it easier, easier
To bare,ay

You won t regret it no
Them young girls, they don t forget it
Love is their own, their own, happiness,oo
But it s all, it s all, so simple now
All you gotta do is try a little tenderness

Won t you show her,won t you show her that you love her
Hey
You wanna squeeze her, don t tease her, neva leave her
You got want to want to just try a little tenderness
Hey

You gotta show her that you want it, now one above her now
Squeeze her, don t tease her, neva leave her
Hold her, grab her softly now
And try a little tenderness
Hey
You ota listen to me, don t leave,huh
Don t cheat her now
Squeeze her, don t cheat her, neva leave her
Gotta show her na na na heeyyyyyy hey hey!
You got to know what to do, don t be a fool
You need to try this now
Just try a little tenderness, a little tenderness
Just take it from me you don t wanna let her leave,o no
Squeeze her, don t tease, neva leave

You got to want to try, juss try, juss try, a little tenderness
Is there a witness in the building tonight,yea,hey!huh
You gotta want to want to try, just try a little tenderness
Say it wit me,say it wit me, try a little tender,tender,tenderness
You wanna squeeze her, don t tease her, neva leave her
Hold her, grab her softly now
Just try a little,just try a little,just try a little,ooo no
Hey!hey!heyyy!just try, huh, just try,just tryyy,huh,whoo
You wanna squeeze her,don t tease her
If you hear what I m sayin then see then won t you just,just tryyyyyyy!!!yeaaaa!!!
