General Public - Tenderness Lyrics
I don't know when to start or when to stopMy luck's like a buttonI can't stop pushing itMy head feels lightBut I'm still in the darkSeems like without tenderness there's something missingTendernessWhere is theTendernessWhere is it?I don't know where I am but I know I don't like itI open my mouth and out pops something spitefulWords are so cheap, but they can turn out expensiveWords like conviction can turn into a sentenceI held your handsRings but none on that fingerWe danced and dancedBut I was scared to go much further with itJust half a chanceMake sure that one night you're here,But next night you're notIt always leaves me searching for a littleTendernessWhere is theTendernessWhere is theTenderness?Whistling in the graveyardCalling up your girlfriendJust trying to make her understandYou're squeezing the telephone like it was her handNo question (so many questions)She's going to catch you out boyIt all seems so underhandNow she's the only thing that ever made you feel like a man, manMadman, madmanTendernessWhere is theTendernessTendernessTendernessWhere is it?I held your handsRings but none on that fingerWe danced and dancedBut I was scared to go much further with itJust half a chanceMake sure that one night you're here,But next night you're notIt always leaves me searching for a littleTendernessWhere is theTenderness?When you're sick to death of second best, petWhy 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
