Try A Little Tenderness Lyrics - Etta James

Oh, she may be weary 

Young girls they do get weary 

Wearing that same old shaggy dress 

But when she gets weary 

Try a little tenderness 

You know she's waiting 

Just anticipating 

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

possess 

But while she's there waiting, without them 

Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do, 

this 

is for you) 

It's not just sentimental, no, no, no 

She has her grief and care 

But the soft words they are spoke so gentle 

It makes it easier, easier to bear
