Sam Cooke Tenderness song lyrics

Be nice to her whenever you can

And as you cross the street always hold her hand

And you'll find out

Tenderness goes a long, long way

So, smile at her when she does something wrong

Always be there to pick her up and make her strong

And you'll find out

Tenderness goes a long, long way

And oh, if you treat her kind, sometimes she'll be blind

To the wrong things that you might do

Oh, 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

Oh, what that tenderness can do

You'll find out, you'll find out

Tenderness goes a long, long way

So, be kinda sweet to her, oh and be gentle too

You'll find out

What that, oh, what that tenderness can do

You'll find out, you'll find out, you'll find out

Tenderness goes a long, long way
