Tenderness

Ha, ha, ha, oh
Ha, ha, ha, oh

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 (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
Tenderness (where is it?)
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 (tenderness)
Tenderness (tenderness)
Tenderness (tenderness)

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

Tenderness (where is it?)
Tenderness (tenderness)
Tenderness (where is it?)
Tenderness (tenderness)
Tenderness (where is it?)
