Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away
Cold, cold di world so cold
Mi waash someone to have and to hold
Ina di nite, when di feelings a bite
Hug mi up, squeeze mi up mek mi feel right
Forget di problems, everybody have dem
Tonight mi just naah feature dem
I, just wanna lay with you,
And be an island in this sea of confusion
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away
Just a little tenderness
With the lights down low,
When the world is just two people,
And love is all we need to know
Everybody got an idea
Of what's right, what's right for me
I'm just tryin' to survive and
Live my life peacefully
This one wants to educate me
This one wants to dominate me
The other one's tryin' to wear me down
Talkin' outta both sides of the mouth, oh
I, just wanna lay with you,
And be an island in this sea of confusion
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away
Just a little tenderness
With the lights down low,
When the world is just two people,
And love is all we need to know
I, just wanna lay with you,
And be an island in this sea of confusion
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away
Just a little tenderness
With the lights down low,
When the world is just two people,
And love is all we need to know
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the night
When the world is just two people,
And everything's gonna be alright....Be a man about it!
My heart's ringing like a telephone
Pick it up and dial in the answer
Oh I'm sick and tired of being alone
Let me know if love is what you're after
Just be a man about it
You don't have to worry
I won't turn you down
Just be a man about it
Oh don't complicate it
Let me know you'll be around
I took you from the number one
When you said you'd be with me forever
But I don't appreciate the cost that I am paying
For your being clever
So be a man about it
Oh don't complicate it
You don't have to lead me on
Just be a man about it
Just want you to love me right
You can't go wrong
If you just be a man about it
You don't have to worry
I won't turn you down
Just be a man about it
Oh don't complicate it
Let me know you'll be around
We could really have a good thing going
Though we don't know where it will lead
But we, we've got to keep the communication flowing
But that's not all I need
So won'tcha
Just be a man about it
You don't have to worry
I won't turn you down
Just be a man about it
Oh don't complicate it
Let me know you'll be around
So be a man about it
Oh don't complicate it
You don't have to lead me on
Just be a man about it
Just want you to love me right
You can't go wrong
You just be a man... (BREAK)
We could really have a good thing going
Though we don't know where it will lead
But we, we've got to keep the communication flowing
But that's not all I need
So won'tcha
Be a man about it
