Ooh she may be weary
And them young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when they get weary
try a little tenderness
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that she'll never, never, possess,no,no
But while she's without it
Go to her and try just a little bit of tenderness
Oh,but its one thing
It might be a bit sentimental yeah, yeah
She has - her greaves and care
But the soft words are spoken so gentle
Yeah
But, oh, that makes it, makes it easier to bear, yeah
