Albert Hammond
Be Tender with Me Baby
[Verse 1]
You got the right to tell me, it's all over
It isn't like me to be begging you
Don't let go, don't let go
Just stay with me another day
When I'm not myself please understand me
I'm so confused I don't know what to do
But don't give up, don't give up
It just may take a little time

[Chorus]
Be tender with me, baby
I'm so afraid you'll go away
Be tender with me, baby, always
For always

[Verse 2]
I know that you've been patient with my weakness
And that you hate to see me cry
But I know, yes I know
It doesn't have to be this way
But I'm so lonely, I could die

[Chorus]
Be tender with me, baby
I'm so afraid you'll go away
Be tender with me, baby, always
For always
[Bridge]
Why does my heart keep on hurting?
Why do I feel like I do?
I hope you see, this is not really me
This is just a phase that I'm going through
Be tender with me, baby

[Instrumental]

[Extended Chorus]
Be tender with me, baby
I'm so afraid you'll go away
Be tender with me, baby
For always, always
Be tender with me, baby
I'm so afraid you'll go away
Be tender with me, baby
Always, for always, always
