Try A Little Tenderness

Aretha Franklin

Lyrics

I may get weary, women do get weary

Wearing the same shabby dress

But to one who's weary try a little

Try a little tenderness

Oh, I may be waiting just anticipating

All of the things I may never possess

But while I'm waiting try a little

Try a little tenderness

Now I, I may be, I may be sentimental

But I wanna say that I've had my griefs

Oh, and I've had my cares

And just a good word soft and gentle

Makes it, makes it easier

Easier to bear

Now, I might forget it

Oh, but don't let me forget it

Love's all my whole, whole happiness

And it's so, so easy

Try a little

Oh, try a little tenderness

Tender, tender, tenderness
