{Tenderness}

be nice to her
whenever you can
and when you cross the street
always hold her hand
you'll find out tenderness goes a long way

so

smile at her when she does something wrong
be there to pick her up and make her strong
you'll find out tenderness goes a long long way

hmm

if you'll be kind sometimes she'll be blind
to the wrong things you might do
if you treat her good the way that you should
she'll see the goodness in you
so be sweet to her and gentle too
and you'll find out what tenderness can do
you'll find out tenderness goes a long a way

be (sweet to her)
and (gentle too)
you'll find out what that tenderness can do
you'll find out tenderness goes a long way
