Try a Little Tenderness

I?m gonna give my love to you
I?ll show you what good love will do
It all comes down to what you give
Try a little tenderness
It?ll open your heart up like a flower
Tenderness has got the power
It all comes down to the way you live
Try a little tenderness

When you?re down
When you?re weary
When all hope is gone
And you can?t go on
When you?re down
Done with fighting
Try a little tenderness

Everybody?s always in such a rush
Everybody?s caught up in the crush
When all we really need
Is a human touch
Try a little tenderness

When you?re down
When you?re weary
When all hope is gone
And you can?t go on
When you?re down
Done with fighting
Try a little tenderness

I?m gonna a give my love to you
And show you what your love will do
If you?re ready to give up on the human heart
Try a little tenderness

I?m just tryin? to make it thru everyday
And leave a little lovin? along the way
Why does evrything have to be so damn hard
Try a little tenderness

When you?re down
When you?re weary
When all hope is gone
And you can?t go on
When you?re down
Done with fighting
Try a little tenderness
