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
