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 hapiness

It's all so easy
Try a little tenderness
