Try A Little Tenderness Lyrics

Artist: Otis Redding

Try A Little Tenderness
Otis Redding

oh she may be weary
them young girls they do get wearied
wearing that same old miniskirt dress
but when she gets weary
you try a little tenderness
oh man that
un hunh
i know shes waiting
just anticipating
the thing that youl never never possess
no no no
but while she there waiting
try just a little bit of tenderness
thats all you got to do
now it might be a little bit sentimental no
but she has her greavs and care
but the soft words they are spoke so gentle
yeah yeah yeah
and it makes it easier to bear
oh she wont regret it
no no
them young girls they dont forget it
love is their whole happiness
yeah yeha yeah
but its all so easy
all you got to do is try
try a little tenderness
yeah
damn that hart (hard?)
all you got to do is know how to love her
you've got to
hold her
squeeze her
never leave her
now get to her
got got got to try a little tenderness
yeah yeah
lord have mercy now
all you got to do is take my advice
you've got to hold her
don't squeeze her
never leave her
you've got to hold her
and never
so you got to try a little tenderness
a little tenderness
a little tenderness
a little tenderness
you've got to
got to got to
you've gotta hold her
don't squeeze her
never leaver her
you got
got got got to

by anaiya on 2/4/2009 10:10pm this is the wrong lyrics to the otis redding song !
by Smiley on 2/10/2009 6:13pm Some of the words are wrong
by Alana on 2/17/2009 11:04pm wrong words! good song but actually listen to song atleast once before wasting everyone time writting them down jesus!!!
by charity on 3/23/2009 5:15pm Not shaggy dress...don't wrongly correct people. It's shaby dress. And this person doesn't know how to spell.
by Me on 7/4/2009 2:24pm The words are all wrong! Why post them if you don't know the right words? Waste of time.
by Michael Jackson on 7/8/2009 3:54pm Otis Redding was one of my many role models. I looked up to his music which contained alot of soul. This is my favorite song out of all of his songs. Don't get the lyrics mixed up please. That's disrespecting the Otis, my man.
by Lys Ren on 7/22/2009 2:33pm Theres some things wrong in these lyrics.
by cecilia on 7/28/2009 11:32am I love this song. When I printed this lyrics i didn't pay attention. I'm mad. Is there anyone who knows the exact words? Please do us a favor, send it to mcmiana@aol.com and thank you so much.
by a b-d on 7/30/2009 3:17am your spelling is pretty amazing... aren't you an english speaker?
by peter gatewood on 9/24/2009 5:38pm "Try a Little Tenderness" is a love song written by "Irving King" (James Campbell and Reginald Connelly) and Harry M. Woods, and recorded initially on December 8, 1932. Otis rearranged and recorded his R&B version in the 1960s.
by me on 9/28/2009 7:40pm there is somuch wrong with those lyrics!!
by Kimmy on 10/5/2009 6:05pm If you sing this song and use these words youl (you will) be the joke of the town!
by DD on 10/15/2009 4:02am it IS shaggy (not shabby) dress in the regular version, but this is the "Live at Monterey" version so he does say "miniskirt" instead of "shaggy"... the lyrics make more sense if you hear Redding's "Live at Monterey" album, which i highly recommend.
by Truett on 11/8/2009 10:39pm the song is asusome just like Ottis Redding
