Percy Sledge › Lyrics › Try a Little Tenderness

In the hustle of today, we're all inclined to miss
Those 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

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 them, 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

Try a little tenderness
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
