Frank Sinatra – Try A Little Tenderness Lyrics
from album: The Voice Of Frank Sinatra (1946)
In the hustle of the day, we’re all inclined to miss
Little things that mean so much, a word, a smile and a kiss
When a woman loves a man, he’s a hero in her eyes
And a hero he can 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
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
And a 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, buy her another shabby dress…
