And young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when she gets weary
You try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
For thing that you'll never, never, never, never possess yeah yeah
But while she there waiting without him try little bit of tenderness

That's all you got to do
