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
