Oh, yeah, baby
Ooh-ooh...

Let me tell you now

When I think about the past
So many loves that didn't last
For so very long
I always thought I had the right
To play it loose or take it light
Well, I guess I was wrong

You kept on saying
That game I was playing
Was gonna bring me down
I didn't wanna hear it
Just wanted to spread
My love around

Now I know you were right
All I need in my life

Is tender love, it's so fine
Tender love, glad you're mine
So, open up your heart
And let it shine
Tender love, money can't buy
Tender love, it's no lie
So, baby, keep on giving me
Tender love
Too many times I made you cry
Too much pain and far too many lies
After all I did to you
You hung in there, you saw it through
Don't ask me why

I must have been crazy
I almost let you slip away
Glad you're still around
And I'm living to love another day, yeah

There's no one else I'll ever meet
(No one for me)
You give me everything I need

Tender love, it's so fine
Tender love, glad you're mine
So, open up your heart
And let it shine
Tender love, money can't buy
Tender love, it's no lie
So, baby, keep on giving me
Tender love

I've been searching long enough
To know that I have found
The treasure in you
I'm never letting go
'Cause no pleasure in this world
Can rise above tender love
Oh, baby
There's no one else I'll ever meet
(No one for me)
You give me everything that I need

Tender love, it's so fine
Tender love, glad you're mine
So, open up your heart
And let it shine
Tender love, money can't buy
Tender love, it's no lie
So, baby, keep on giving me
Tender love
