In the hustle of the day
We're all inclined to miss
The little things that mean alot
A word, a smile, the kiss
When a woman loves a man
He's a hero in her eyes
And a hero he will always be
If he'll just realize
She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While she's without them
Try a little tenderness
You won't regret it
Women don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
It's all so easy
Try a little tenderness
She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she's weary
Try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess
While she's without them
Try a little tenderness
