Artist: Otis Redding Album: The Definitive Collection: The Dock Of The Bay (1992) Title: Try A Little Tenderness
Lyrics Try A Little TendernessOoh she may be weary
And them 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
The thing that she'll never, never, never, never possess, yeah
But while she's waiting
Go to her and try just a little bit of tenderness
It’s not just sentimental
She has her greaves and care
But the soft words are spoken so gentle, yeah
It makes it, makes it easier to bear, yeah
You wont regret it, no no
Them young girls they don’t forget it
Love is their whole, whole happiness yes, yes, yeah
And it’s all so easy
Come on and try
Try a little tenderness
Yeah try
Just keep on trying
You've got to love her
Squeeze her
Don't tease her Never leave her
Get to her
Hold her tight
Just, just try a little tenderness
That’s all you gotta do
You’ve gotta hold her tight
