be nice to her
whenever you can
and when you cross the street
always hold her hand
you´ll find out tenderness goes a 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

hmm

if you´ll be kind sometimes she´ll be blind
to the wrong things you might do
if you treat her good 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 tenderness goes a long a way

be (sweet to her)
and (gentle too)
you´ll find out what that tenderness can do
you´ll find out tenderness goes a long way
