The air is cooling and the sun's going down
The day's been grueling in this dusty old town
My body's aching for what you do to me


Tenderly tenderly
Tenderly tenderly


The words are easy when the language is love
You know exactly what I'm thinking of

My heart is hungry for what you do to me

Tenderly tenderly

Tenderly tenderly

I've had lovers go up in flames

Been with others who've had no names
God I've waited patiently
For someone who really touches me


I feel your fingers and their touch is like fire
Sensations linger then they turn to desire

My body's aching for what you do to me

Tenderly tenderly

Tenderly tenderly
