To those of you complaining that Taylor's song choice of TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS BY OTIS REDDING was rejected because it does not qualify as love song, maybe we should read the lyrics to see if it does. Here they are ...



TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS

By: Otis redding

Oh she may be weary
Them young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old miniskirt dress
But when she gets weary
You try a little tenderness
Oh man that
Un hunh
I know she’s waiting
Just anticipating
The thing that youl never never possess
No no no
But while she there waiting
Try just a little bit of tenderness
Thats all you got to do
Now it might be a little bit sentimental no
But she has her greavs and care
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle
Yeah yeah yeah
And it makes it easier to bear
Oh she wont regret it
No no
Them young girls they don’t forget it
Love is their whole happiness
Yeah yeha yeah
But it’s all so easy
All you got to do is try
Try a little tenderness
Yeah
Damn that hart (hard? )
All you got to do is know how to love her
You’ve got to
Hold her
Squeeze her
Never leave her
Now get to her
Got got got to try a little tenderness
Yeah yeah

Tenderness is most certainly a love song lyrically. If it isn't how is "have you ever really really really really really, etc. loved a woman"???
