I must be foolish, I can't see at all

To keep you waiting there and not even call

But I can't say I'm sorry 'cause that's how I am

But I'm trying to do the best that I can

So baby don't give up on us yet

We don't have to say goodbye 'cause I won't let you go



You only need a little bit of plain and simple thoughtfulness

It only takes a little bit to keep me close to you

You only need a little bit of plain and simple thoughtfulness

That's all you need



Now I ain't no martyr, I can be wrong

But something's kept us here together this long

And I would be lying if I said I'd be

Everything you wanted in me

So just remind me not to forget

It only takes a little tenderness to know
