I?m gonna give my love to you I?ll show you what good love will do It all comes down to what you give Try a little tenderness It?ll open your heart up like a flower Tenderness has got the power It all comes down to the way you live Try a little tenderness When you?re down When you?re weary When all hope is gone And you can?t go on When you?re down Done with fighting Try a little tenderness Everybody?s always in such a rush Everybody?s caught up in the crush When all we really need Is a human touch Try a little tenderness When you?re down When you?re weary When all hope is gone And you can?t go on When you?re down Done with fighting Try a little tenderness I?m gonna a give my love to you And show you what your love will do If you?re ready to give up on the human heart Try a little tenderness I?m just tryin? to make it thru everyday And leave a little lovin? along the way Why does evrything have to be so damn hard Try a little tenderness When you?re down When you?re weary When all hope is gone And you can?t go on When you?re down Done with fighting Try a little tenderness
