Tenderness
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 sweet to her

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
