(Bernard Edwards/Nile Rodgers)



Tenderness is the best

Tenderness I confess

Tenderness is the best

Tenderness nothin' less



Love me with a tender touch

Kindness I need very much

It is so hard for me to trust

But deep inside I know I must



Love me all through the night

Hug me 'till the first rays of sunlight

Be sweet, make me unafraid

'Cause tonight I'll play with you

Please be gentle



Tenderness is the best

Tenderness I confess

Tenderness is the best

Tenderness nothin' less



Love me, try to be understanding

Tenderness is all that I'm asking

Don't feel like I'm making conditions

I wanna to overcome my inhibitions



Love me all through the night

Hug me 'till the first rays of sunlight

Be sweet, make me unafraid

'Cause tonight I'll play with you

Please be gentle



Tenderness is the best

Tenderness I confess

Tenderness is the best

Tenderness nothin' less



Love me with the tender touch

Kindness I need very much

It is so hard for me to trust

But deep inside I know I must



Love me all through the night

Hug me 'till the first rays of sunlight

Be sweet, make me unafraid

'Cause tonight I'll play with you

Please be gentle



Love me

Kindness

Love me

Hug me

Please be gentle



Tenderness is the best

Tenderness I confess

Tenderness is the best

Tenderness nothin' less



Tenderness is the best

Tenderness I confess

Tenderness is the best

Tenderness nothin' less

Try to be understanding

Try to be understanding
