Otis Redding — Try A Little Tenderness

Ooh she may be weary
And young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she get weary
try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that she'll never, never, possess
But while she's waiting without them
try my little tenderness

Its not just sentimental no no
She has her greaves and care
But the soft words they are spoken so gentle
Yeah
it makes it easier easier to bear, yeah

You wont regret it
No no,
Young girls they dont forget it
Love is their whole happiness yeah

But its all so easy
You've got to do this
try a little Tenderness
Yeah
You've got to love her
Squeeze her
Don't tease her Make love [Get to her]
Hold her tight
Just, just try a little tenderness
Thats all you gotta do
Youve gotta hold her tight
