Mr tender is something I'm not I pulled too tight when we tied the knot
Surrender is something I can't, I can't let go and I rave and I rant
But I resolve to solve this problem and be the one you need
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
I will smooth the edges from my roughness and lose the venom in my toughness
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
