Tenderness Songtext
von Sam Cooke

Be nice to her
Whenever you can
And as you cross the street always hold her hand

You′ll find out
Tenderness goes a long, long way

So, smile at her
When she does something wrong
Be there to pick her up and make her strong

You'll find out
Tenderness goes a long, long way


Mmm, if you′ll be kind
Sometimes she'll be blind
To the wrong things you might do
If you treat her good, oh, the way that you should
She'll see the goodness in you

So, be sweet to her
And gentle too
And you′ll find out what
Tenderness can do

You′ll find out, you'll find out, you′ll find out
Tenderness goes a long, long way

Be (be sweet to her)
And (and gentle too)
You'll find out
What, oh, what that tenderness can do

You′ll find out, you'll find out, you′ll find out
Tenderness goes a long, long way
