Sammy Davis Jr.
Try a Little Tenderness
[Intro]
In the hustle of the day, we're all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much, a word, a smile and 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 realise
[Verse 1]
She may be weary, women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary, try a little tenderness
[Verse 2]
You know she's waiting, just anticipating
Things she may nevеr possess
And while she's without thеm, try a little tenderness
[Bridge]
It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and her care
And a word that's soft and gentle makes it easier to bear
[Verse 3]
You won't regret it, women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
It's all so easy, try a little tenderness
[Outro]
You won't regret it, women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And then, it's all so easy, try a little tenderness
La-da-di-da-di, la-di
