This one goes out to all the fellas here tonight. You know who you are. You'll recognize youself and the love of your life in this little song.

[This is for you]
Ooh she may be weary
And them young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shabby dress
But when they get weary
[You gotta] try a little tenderness

[Tell you, might not believe it, but]
You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that she'll never, never possess, no,no
But while [all the time] she's without it
Go to her and try just a little bit of tenderness

[Thats what all you men gotta do]

Oh, but it's one thing
It might be a bit sentimental yeah, yeah
She has - her grieves and care
But the soft words [they] are spoken so gentle
But, oh, that makes it, makes it easier to bear, yeah

You won't regret it
No no,
Them young girls they don't forget it
[Cause] Love is their whole, whole happiness yes, yes, yeah
And it's all so easy
Come on and try
Try a little tenderness
Yeah try
Just keep on trying

You've got to love her
Squeeze her
Don't tease her
Just, just try a little tenderness
That's all you gotta do
Youve gotta hold her tight

One more time
You`ve got to love her
Hold her fon't tease her
Never leave her
Hold her, man

You gotta love her
Don't tease her
Never leave her
Rub her down
Smooth her, soothe her
Move her
Love her
Gotta gotta got to got to got to got too yeah you got to got to got to
Try some tenderness

[And don't forget what you learned here tonight, you men here in the audience.]

Love her, don't tease her
Never, ever leave her
Gotta gotta got to got to got to got too yeah you got to got to got to
Try some tenderness

I had the great good fortune several years ago of visiting Star Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where Otis recorded most of his records. There were pictures of him, Aretha, the Allman Brothers, and many others everywhere. It was the same building, furniture, everything. They weren't prepared for visitors though, but they were so nice. Said they would take us back into the actual studio if somebody were not recording in it at that very moment.

That was one of our better road trips. Mammoth Cave (KY), Nashville, Memphis, Tupelo (MS), Muscle Shoals, Atlanta, home.
