The Slow Drag - Tenderness Lyrics

I hope you now what a good thing you got
The kinda girl you oughta put a ring on
Just take a look, drink it all in
How 'bout her smile? That pale skin...
She speaks with her eyes and if you're listening
You'll treat her with tenderness

When she's in your arms, cherish her lips
They are the ones making my favorite kiss
And when you say
"I'll never hurt you like he did. I'll keep you safe"
I pray that you mean it
All I can say now is
"Please, boy, please treat her with tenderness"

Give her everything that you got to give
Open up your heart and let her in
Treat her with tenderness
I wish I did

She'll always be sweet and reach for your hand
So don't let it go if you don't ever have to
She'll fall asleep with her head on your chest
Hand over your heart, it's just like a blessing
Seems like she dreams of how to love you the best
Why don't you treat her with tenderness

Give her everything that you got to give
Open up your heart and let her in
Treat her with tenderness
Like I wish I did
Like I wish I did

Treat her with tenderness
Give her everything that you got to give
Open up your heart and let her in
With tenderness
I wish I did
