TENDERNESS

General Public



Aaahh, aaah, aah, oh!

Aaahh, aaah, aah, oh!



I don't know where to start or where to stop

my lucks 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



CHORUS:



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, Tenderness, 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, Where is the Tenderness, where is it



REPEAT 3RD VERSE



Tenderness, tenderness, 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
