Lyrics Marianne Faithfull – Tenderness

I’ve noticed how few emotions stand the test of time
Feelings come, feelings go, and the days are fine

Night is dark, night is cold
Passion lies down to die

It’s funny how romance fails us, giving way to love
You look around, feel your freedom — you’re a slave to love

Night is dark, night is cold
Passion lies down to die
Tenderness — spirit moves me
Tenderness — try to show me
Tenderness — come on show me
Tenderness — feelings grow and change

I’ve noticed how few emotions stand the test of time
Feelings come, feelings go, and the days are fine

Night is dark, night is cold
Passion lies down to die
Tenderness — really moves me
Tenderness — try to show me
Tenderness — come on show me
Tenderness — feelings grow and change

Don’t think that because I don’t know what’s happening
That I ain’t achin’…
I never thought you would show me
Just what you been takin’
It’s not as simple as that
Don’t think I don’t know just when my heart’s breakin’?

I ain’t chosen — I ain’t chosen
I ain’t chosen — chosen — chosen — chosen — chosen

Tenderness
Tenderness
Tenderness
Tenderness
