In the hustle of the day We're all inclined to miss Little things that mean so much A word, a smile or a 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 That she may be weary Women do get weary Wearing the same shabby dress And when she's weary, try a little tenderness She may be waiting, just anticipating Things she may never possess While she's without them Try a little tenderness It's not just sentimental She has her grief and her care But one word that's soft and gentle Makes it easier to bear You won't regret it Women don't forget it Love is their whole happiness And it's all so easy Try a little tenderness And it's all so easy Try a little tenderness
