Try A Little Tenderness - Otis Redding

Oh she may be weary

And 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

Oh man that Uh

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 bare yeah

You won't regret it no no
