Suite Otis: Try A Little Tenderness - Otis Redding lyrics
And young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating for things that she'll
Never never never never possess, yeah yeah
While she's there waiting, and without them
Try a little tenderness, that's all you gotta do
It's not just sentimental, no no no
She has her grief and care, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bare, yeah
You won't regret it, no no
Young girls, they don't forget it
Love is their only happiness, yeah
But it's all so easy, all you've gotta do is try
Try a little tenderness, yeah
All you've gotta do is man, hold her where you want her
Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her
Get to her drop drop
Just try a little tenderness, oh yeah yeah yeah
You've got to know how to love her, man
You'll be surprised, man
You've got to squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave
You've got to hold her and rub her softly
Try a little tenderness, oh yeah yeah yeah
You've got to rub her gentle man
[Incomprehensible]
Don't bruise her, no no
You've got to love her, squeeze her, don't tease her
Gotta drop, nah nah nah drop
Try a little tenderness, yeah, watch her groove
You've gotta to know what to do, man
Take this advice
You gotta love and squeeze
And young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah
