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
Where is the Tenderness?

A little Tenderness, Where is the Tenderness?
A little 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? 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
Tenderness Where is it?
