This is for you ooh she may be weary
And them young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when they get weary
You gotta try a little tenderness
Tell you, might not believe it, but
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that she'll never, never, possess, no, no
But while all the time she's without it
Go to her and try just a little bit of tenderness
Thats all you gentlemen gotta do
Oh, but its one thing
It might be a bit sentimental yeah, yeah
She has - her greaves and care
But the soft words they are spoken so gentle
YeahBut, oh, that makes it, makes it easier to bear, yeah
You wont regret it

Cause love is their whole, whole happiness yes, yes, yeah
And its all so easy
