Lyrics and translation
Original
Tenderness is the best.
Tenderness,
I confess.
Tenderness is the best.
Tenderness, nothing less. Love me with a tender touch.
Kindness I need very much.
It is so hard for me to trust, but deep inside I know I must. Come on, love me.
Love me all through the night. Hold me till the first rays of sunlight.
Be sweet, make me unafraid, 'cause tonight I'll lay with you.
Please be gentle.
Tenderness is the best.
Tenderness,
I confess.
Tenderness is the best.
Tenderness, nothing less. Love me, try to be understanding.
Tenderness is all that I'm asking.
Don't feel like I'm making conditions. I want to overcome my inhibitions. Come on, love me.
Love me all through the night. Hold me till the first rays of sunlight.
Be sweet, make me unafraid, 'cause tonight I'll lay with you.
Please be gentle.
Tenderness is the best.
Tenderness,
I confess.
Tenderness is the best.
Tenderness, nothing less. Love me with a tender touch.
Tenderness I need very much.
It is so hard for me to trust, but deep inside I know I must.
Love me all through the night. Hold me till the first rays of sunlight.
Be sweet, make me unafraid, 'cause tonight I'll lay with you.
Please be gentle. Tenderness is the best. Tenderness,
I confess. Tenderness is the best. Tenderness, nothing less.
Love me, kindness. Tenderness, I confess.
Love me, hold me. Tenderness. Please be gentle.
Tenderness, tenderness is the best.
Tenderness, I confess. Tenderness, I confess. Tenderness is the best.
Tenderness. Tenderness, nothing less. Love me. Try to be understanding. Tenderness.
Try to be understanding. Tenderness. Try to be understanding.
Tenderness, nothing less.
Come on, love me.
Come on, love me.
Come on, love me.
Love me, come on and love me.
Not making conditions.
Overcome my inhibitions. Love me. Come on, love me.
Try to be understanding. Try to be understanding.
Try to be understanding
