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
