I don't know when to start or when to stop
My luck's like a b___on
I can't stop pushing it
My head feels light
But I'm still in the dark
Seems like without tenderness
there's something missing
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Where is it?

I don't know where I am
but I know I don't like it
I open my mouth and out pops
something spiteful
Words are so cheap,
but they can turn out expensive
Words like conviction
can turn into a sentence

I held your hands
Rings but none on that finger
We danced and danced
But I was scared to go much further with it
Just half a chance
Make sure that one night you're here,
But next night you're not
It always leaves me searching for a little

Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness?

Whistling in the graveyard
Calling up your girlfriend
Just trying to make her understand
You're squeezing the telephone
like it was her hand
No question (so many questions)
She's going to catch you out boy
It all seems so underhand
Now she's the only thing
that ever made you feel like a man, man
Madman, madman

Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness
Tenderness
Tenderness
Where is it?

I held your hands
Rings but none on that finger
We danced and danced
But I was scared to go much further with it
Just half a chance
Make sure that one night you're here,
But next night you're not
It always leaves me searching for a little

Tenderness
Where is the
Tenderness?

When you're sick to death
of second best, pet
Why should the morning
always find you unimpressed?
Is your love like a b___on?
You can't stop pushing it?
Oh this all night longing
can be such a long time
