Having read all the above posts I am reminded of these songs:

TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS

Ooh she may be weary
And them young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
But when they get weary
try a little tenderness

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that she'll never, never, possess
But while she's waiting
try a little tenderness

Oh,but its one thing
It might be a bit sentimental
She has - her griefs and cares
But the soft words spoke so gentle
makes it easier to bear

You wont regret it
No no, they don't forget it
Love is their whole happiness
And its all so easy
Come on and try
Try a little Tenderness


You don't Miss your water til the well run dry

In the beginning
You really loved me
I was too blind
I couldn't see

But now you've left me
Oh! how I cry
You don't miss your water
Till the well runs dry

I kept you crying
Sad and blue
I was a playboy
I wouldn't be true

But when you left me
And said 'bye-bye'
I missed my water
My well ran dry

I sit and wonder
How can this be?
I never thought
You'd never leave me

But now you've left me
Oh! how I cry
You don't miss your water
Till the well runs dry

You don't miss your water
Till the well runs dry
