Carpenter Mary Chapin - Tender When I Want To Be lyrics

I have a heart that's proud, you bet I have a mind that won't forget And I have arms that are strong and yet Tender when they want to to be Well, you can be the will that finds the way And you can be the one who saves the day But show me tender when it's time to say Exactly how it ought to be And I never would've known it, darlin' If I hadn't known about you You said everyone can be a rock-'n'-roll like a river too Well, something happens when you find someone Who makes you feel like you can do no wrong No, you don't have to take the whole world on Just be tender when you want be And I never would have known it, baby If I hadn't known about you You said everyone can be a rock-'n'-roll like a river too So let the waters carry us away Wave goodbye to the old parade Baby, when we're unafraid To be tender when we want to be All the waters wash our cares away All that we can see are better days Don't ever let me hesitate To be tender when I want to be
