Lyrics
In the hustle of today
We’re all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much
A word, a smile, a kiss
When a woman loves a man
He’s a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can always be
If he’ll just realize
Chorus
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 tme
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 happiness
It’s all so easy
Try a little tenderness
Performance
