Fletcher C Johnson - Lesson in Tenderness Lyrics

Spent the morning wondering why
All this anger can fit inside
But I pushed it down and swallowed my pride
There's really nothing to it

It's a lesson in tenderness
The dirty things the world has done to us
It's a lesson in tenderness
The dirty things the world has done to us

Lived off friends for a long long time
Floating 'round and just getting by
But all I took I then justified
There's really nothing to it

It's a lesson in tenderness
The dirty things the world has done to us
It's a lesson in tenderness
The dirty things the world has done to us

All I want's to be alone tonight
And if you want to be here by my side
We'll be alone tonight

Spent tonight on the telephone
To make my peace with everyone
But that don't mean that I didn't hurt some
There's really nothing to it

It's a lesson in tenderness
The dirty things the world has done to us
It's a lesson in tenderness
The dirty things the world has done to us
