my lyricsbox
I have a heart that's proud you bet
I have a mind that won't forget
And I have arms that are strong and yet
Tender when they want to be
Well you can be the will that finds the way
And you can be the one that saves the day
But show me tender when it's time to say
Exactly how ought to be

And I never would have known it darling
If I hadn't known about you
You said everyone can be a rock
and roll like a river too

Well something happens when you find someone
Who makes you feel like you can do no wrong
No you don't have to take the whole world on
Just be tender when you want to be

And I never would have known it darling
If I hadn't known about you
You said everyone can be a rock
and roll like a river too

So let the waters carry us away
Wave goodbye to the old parade
Baby when we're unafraid
To be tender when we want to be
All the waters wash our cares away
All that we can see are better days
Don't ever let me hesitate
To be tender when I want to be
This song is from the album "Stones In The Road" and "Triple Feature".
