Celestial Tenderness - Evory Gagnon

What can I do What can I do Much of what you say is true I know you see through me But there's no tenderness Beneath your honesty Oh, right and wrong Right and wrong Wuh, it never helped us get along You say you care for me But there's no tenderness Beneath your honesty You and me were such good friends What's your hurry You and me could make amends I'm not worried I'm not worried Honesty Honesty Wuh, it's such a waste of energy Don't, don't have to lie to me Just give me some tenderness Beneath your honesty You don't have to lie to me Just give me some tenderness

Be nice to her Whenever you can And as you cross the street always hold her hand You'll find out Tenderness goes a long, 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 Mmm, if you'll be kind Sometimes she'll be blind To the wrong things you might do If you treat her good, oh, 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, you'll find out, you'll find out Tenderness goes a long, long way Be (be sweet to her) And (and gentle too) You'll find out What, oh, what that tenderness can do You'll find out, you'll find out, you'll find out Tenderness goes a long, long way

I don't know when to start or when to stop My luck's like a button 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 button? You can't stop pushing it? Oh this all night longing can be such a long time
