You’ve got the right to tell me it’s all over
It isn’t like me to be begging you
Don’t let go, don’t let go
just stay with me another day
And when I’m not myself
please understand me
I’m so confused I don’t know what to do
but don’t give up, don’t give up
it just may take a little time
Be tender with me baby
I’m so afraid you’ll go away
Be tender with me baby
Always, always
I know that you’ve been patient
with my weakness
and that you hate to see me cry
but I know, yes I know
it doesn’t hurt to be this way
and I’m so lonely I could die
Be tender with me baby
I’m so afraid you’ll go away
Be tender with me baby
Always, always
Why does my heart keep on hurting
why do I feel, feel like I do
I hope you see this is
not really me
and it’s just a phase that I’m going through
Be tender with me baby …
Be tender with me baby
I’m so afraid you’ll go away
Be tender with me baby
Always, for always …always
