[Chorus]
Tenderness is the best
Tenderness, I confess
Tenderness is the best
Tenderness, nothin' less

[Verse 1]
Love me with a tender touch
Kindness, I need very much
It is so hard for me to trust
But deep inside I know I must

[Pre-Chorus]
(Come on) Love me all through the night
Hug me 'til the first rays of sunlight
Be sweet, make me unafraid
'Cause tonight, I'll lay with you, please be gentle

[Chorus]
Tenderness is the best
Tenderness, I confess
Tenderness is the best
Tenderness, nothin' less

[Verse 2]
Love me, try to be understanding
Tenderness is all that I'm asking
Don't feel like I'm making conditions
I wanna to overcome my inhibitions
[Pre-Chorus]
(Come on) Love me all through the night
Hug me 'til the first rays of sunlight
Be sweet, make me unafraid
'Cause tonight, I'll lay with you, please be gentle

[Chorus]
Tenderness is the best
Tenderness, I confess
Tenderness is the best
Tenderness, nothin' less than

[Verse 1]
Love me with a tender touch (Tenderness is the best)
Kindness, I need very much (Tenderness, I confess)
It is so hard for me to trust (Tenderness is the best)
But deep inside I know I must (Tenderness, nothin' less than)

[Pre-Chorus]
Love me all through the night (Tenderness is the best)
Hug me 'til the first rays of sunlight (Tenderness, I confess)
Be sweet, make me unafraid (Tenderness is the best)
'Cause tonight, I'll lay with you, please be gentle (Tenderness, nothin' less, but)

[Bridge]
Love me
Kindness
Love me
Hug me
Please be gentle
[Chorus]
Tenderness is the best
Tenderness, I confess
Tenderness is the best
Tenderness, nothin' less than
Tenderness (Tenderness) is the best (Is the best)
Tenderness, I confess (Tenderness)
Tenderness (I confess, tenderness) is the best (Is the best)
Tenderness (Tenderness), nothin' less than

[Outro]
(Tenderness is the best) Love me, try to be understanding
(Tenderness, I confess)
(Tenderness is the best) Try to be understanding
(Tenderness, nothin' less than)
