Lyrics Of The Week: Try a Little Tenderness




Try A Little Tenderness
Otis Redding


 Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah

You know she's waiting

Just anticipating
For things that she'll never never never never possess, yeah yeah
But while she's there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness (that's all you gotta do)

It's not just sentimental, no no no

She has her grief and care, yeah yeah yeah
But the soft words they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bare, yeah

You won't regret it, no no

Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their only happiness, yeah
But it's all so easy
All you gotta do is try, try a little tenderness, yeah
All you gotta do is man, hold her where you want her

Squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave her

Get to her drop drop
Just try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah
You got to know how to love her, man, you'll be surprised, man
You've got to squeeze her, don't tease her, never leave
You've got to hold her and rub her softly
Try a little tenderness, ooh yeah yeah yeah
You've got to rub her gentle man, don't bruise her, no no
You've got to love her, squeeze her, don't tease her
Gotta drop nah nah nah drop
Try a little tenderness, yeah, watch her groove
You've gotta to know what to do, man
Take this advice

(Quickly fades away)

Will Smith Gives Good Relationship Advice




 After being married for 13 years to wife Jada Pinkett-Smith, actor Will Smith seems like he would be a good person to sit down and talk with about how to make a healthy marriage work. He recently spoke with Essence about relationships, schooling us on not only love and marriage, but what men need to be happy. He says that every man wants to marry their “homie,” avoid nagging by direct affection, give your man a little space, and keep things mysterious:

If You Marry Your Best Friend, You’re Good 
Every man wants to marry his homie, Will explained. A lot of women will impress them, but it’s the one they can always laugh with and be themselves with that will ultimately impress them the most. If you can be yourselves around each other, 100 percent of the time, and they can make you life like no one else can, you’ll never have a dull moment together.  

Remind Him of What He Has 
When you start to feel that you’re nagging your husband to the point of no return and nothing you’re saying is getting through, Will suggests you try a new approach. Hold him close, look him right in the eyes, and tell him that you love him, you’re right there, and you always will be, BUT you need him to pick his socks up – right now.  As Will puts it, it’s important to remind him that your request is coming from a good place, and what you want is a small thing in the grand scheme of things. Um, genius!  

All Men Need A Little Space 
“If you don’t give your husband thirty minutes to himself when he first gets home he’ll stop coming home,” Will told me, straight up. (You’re thinking, no way, right? I did too!) When I asked Will when a wife was supposed to say her piece, he responded, “anytime after that.” Will reminded me that everyone’s home needs to feel like a happy place, and it won’t if you’re “greeted with negativity” every time you enter the door. Touché Will. Talk about a pause for the cause.  

Focus on Balance and Excitement Always According to Will and Jada’s way of thinking about marriage, maintaining a happy union isn’t just about making time for one another, it’s about making the time count too. Excitement and mystery are everything, he said. Surprise them, let them know you love them, laugh together – whatever it takes to put a smile on their face.

Don’t Spend Thanksgiving Alone!



Are you planning on spending the Thanksgiving holiday on your own? Many people find that they just aren't in the right emotional place to spend the holidays with others. They haven't gotten to know any online matches well enough to spend a holiday with them. They don't want to endure another family get together in which well-intentioned relations ask about the status of their personal lives. And they have friends but planning a Thanksgiving dinner just sounds too tiring to be worked out.

That's okay. It's nice to spend Thanksgiving with family and friends but it's not the only option. And staying home alone with a microwave turkey dinner isn't the only alternative. You can go out into the world and make connections to be thankful for without having to deal with the intensity and pressure of new relationships, old family members and overwhelming friends.

Consider just spending a day out and about in your town. Somewhere in the city, other people are milling about. Visit a local park. Find a coffee shop that you've never been to which didn't close for the holiday and hang out there for a few hours. Seek out an event that's happening during the holiday. You aren't the only one who doesn't have specific plans; seek out others who are in the same boat. You can converse with them or simply wish them a Happy Thanksgiving, giving a fix to your need to socialize without causing your emotions to go into overdrive.

Lyrics Of The Week: Star Over




 Start Over
-Beyonce


 I feel weak, we've been here before,
'Cause I feel we keep going back and forth,
Maybe it's over, maybe we're through,
But I honestly can say I still love you,

Maybe we reached the mountain peak,
And there's no more left to climb,
And maybe we lost the magic piece,
And we're both too blind to find,

Let's start over,
Let's give love their wings,
Let's start over,
Stop fighting 'bout the same old thing,
Let's start over,
We can't let our good love die,
Maybe we can start over,
Give love another life,

I can see that we're not happy here,
So why would we keep pretending when there's nothing there?
Maybe you like it, well, I don't,
And maybe you'll settle, well, I won't,

Maybe we reached the mountain peak,
And there's no more left to climb,
And maybe we lost the magic piece,
And we're both too blind to find,

Let's start over,
Let's give love their wings,
Let's start over,
Stop fighting about the same old thing,
Let's start over,
We can't let our good love die,
Maybe we can start over,
Give love another life,

I know that this will hurt you,
I know you'll cry,
I know I called you selfish, but that's a lie,
I feel I know that's the best for us,

Let's start over,
And let's give love their wings,
Let's start over,
I'm tired of fighting 'bout the same old thing,
Let's start over,
We both know that this love won't die,
Maybe we can start over,
And give love another life.
