Sweet nothing's are cheap to me Bitter sweet on your tongue Flattery works at the start of things But they're only words when it's done I won't say that it didn't mean a thing But something changed in me And I won't say that there wasn't chemistry But you got a way with me And i can feel you Tenderly Breaking me easily Making a mess of me Wearing me out Honestly Isn't it sad to see How you keep tenderly Bringing me down Tenderly Tenderly Tenderly Tenderly I came to the middle ground But you walked away Hitting me hard on the rebound Just a little too late I don't why you take all the energy Out of my life When i gave you everything All of the time, all of the time Told me you're mine Wanted a part of me I really tried to love you wholeheartedly I really tried And I can feel you Tenderly Breaking me easily Making a mess of me Wearing me out Honestly Isn't it sad to see How you keep tenderly Bringing me down Tenderly Tenderly Tenderly Tenderly I won't say that it didn't mean a thing But something changed in me And I won't say that there wasn't chemistry But you got a way with me And i can feel you Tenderly Breaking me easily Making a mess of me Wearing me out Honestly Isn't it sad to see How you keep tenderly Bringing me down Tenderly Tenderly Tenderly Tenderly
