Classic Poem

(with Jimmy Campbell and Reginald Connelly)

Oh, she may be weary,
And young girls, they do get weary
Wearin' that same shaggy dress.
But when she gets weary,
Try a little tenderness.
You know she's waiting,
Just anticipatin'
The things that she never did possess.
But while she's there waiting,
Try a little tenderness.
That's all you gotta do.
It's not just sentimental, no.
She had her grief and her care.
But for soft words
We all spoke so gentle,
It makes it easier to bear.
You won't regret it,
Young girls, they don't forget it.
Love is their only happiness.
It's all so easy,
Just try a little tenderness.
