In the hustle of the day, were all inclined to miss

Little things that mean so much

A word, a smile, and a kiss

When a woman loves a man, hes a hero in her eyes

And a hero he can always be if hell just realize

She may be weary, women do get weary

Wearing the same shabby dress

And when shes weary, try a little tenderness

She may be waiting, just anticipating

Things she may never possess

While shes without them, try a little tenderness

It's not just sentimental, she has her grief and her care

But a word thats soft and gentle makes it easier to bear

You wont regret it, women dont forget it

Love is their whole happiness

And it's all so easy, try a little tenderness
