Lyrics
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
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, for 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 have to be this way
But 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, for always

Why does my heart keep hurting?
Why do I feel like I do?
I hope you see this is not really me
That it's just a phase that I'm going through

So be tender with me, baby

Baby
Be tender with me, baby
'Cause I'm so afraid you'll go away
Be tender with me, baby
For always, always
Please be tender with me, baby
'Cause I'm so afraid you'll go away
Be tender with me, baby
Always, for always
Always
