First I rise, then 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,
`Cause it`s all that I`ve got
And my love won`t desert me
So you say to yourself, boy,
You`re out of your brain;
Do you think I`m gonna stand here
All night in the rain?
And 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,
`Cause it`s all that I`ve got
And my love won`t forsake me.
With my love,
Our love will seal it together.
Oh, with our love,
You made a promise
You`ll always love me forever.
