The more I rise the more I fall
Seems like you don't want the love
Of this man at all and it's sure been a lonely time
Right up to the time I met you so if you take a love like mine

Be tender with my love
You know how easy it is to hurt me
Fanny
be tender with my love
'Cos' it's all that I got
And my love won't desert me
So you say to yourself
Boy
you're out of brain
Do you think I'm gonna stand here
AII night in the rain
Well
it's the start of a love-affair
The moment when I first met you
And if you want I'll take you there

Be tender with my love
You know how easy it is to break me
Fanny
be tender with my love
'Cos' it's all that I got
And my love won't forsake me
With my love our love will seal it together
With my love you made a promise
You'll always love me forever
Fanny
be tender with my love
You know how easy it is to break it
Fanny
be tender with my love

Fanny
be tender . . .
