Ah, first I rise, then I fall,
seems like you don't want the love of this man at all.

And it's sure been a lonely time,
right up to the time I met you,
so if you take a love like mine,

ooh, be tender with my love,
you know how easy it is to hurt me.
Fanny, be tender with my love,
'cause it's all that I've got
and my love won't desert me.

So you say to yourself, boy,
you're out of your brain.
Do you think I'm gonna stand here
all night in the rain?

And it's the start of a love affair,
the moment when I first met you,
and if you want I'll take you there.

Ooh, be tender with my love,
you know how easy it is to break me.
Fanny, be tender with my love,
'cause it's all that I've got
and my love won't forsake me.

Ooh, with my love,
our love will seal it together.
Oh, with our love,
you made a promise
you'll always love me forever.

Be tender (be tender) with my love (with my love),
you know how easy it is to break me.
Fanny (be tender), be tender (tender) with my love (with my love),
'cause it's all that I've got
And my love won't forsake me.

Be tender (tender) with my love (with my love),
you know how easy it is to hurt me.
Fanny, be tender (tender) with my love (with my love)
'cause it's all that I've got
and my love won't forsake me.

Ooh....Ah, ah, ah...
Be tender (tender) with my love (with my love),
you know how easy it is to hurt me.
Fanny, be tender (tender) with my love (with my love)
'cause it's all that I've got
and my love won't forsake me.

Be tender (tender) with my love (with my love),
you know how easy it is to break me.
Ooh, Fanny, be tender with my love
'cause it's all that I've got
and my love won't forsake me.

Be tender (tender) with my love (oh with my love),
you know how easy it is to hurt me.
Fanny, be tender...
