Lyrics

Capo at 2

E b e a
Mr. tender is something I'm not I pulled too tight when we tied the knot
E b e a
Surrender is something I can't, I can't let go and I rave and I rant
C#m a c#m a c#m b
But I resolve to solve this problem and be the one you need
E a e a e a e
And one day you'll see you will call me "mr tender"

Mr. tender it's almost a joke if it were funny and didn't make you choke
A pretender yeah that's what I am, acting the part but it's really a sham
But I am working, working hard to give the love you need
And one day you'll see you call me "mr tender"

A b a b
I will smooth the edges from my roughness and lose the venom in my toughness
C#m a c#m a c#m b
I resolve to solve this problem and be everything you need
Mr tender yeah! that's what I'll be you won't believe that it's coming from me
The agenda is nothing but love I'll make it come from below and above
And I am working working so hard to be everything you need

And one day you'll see you call me "mr tender" (repeat)
