A Plea For Tenderness (1971 John Cale Demo) The Modern Lovers

Now girls, do you hate men?
Well, you know, sometimes you just don't talk to them
And that's sad
'Cause I can see tenderness in your faces
And innocence straight from infant days
And there must be tenderness deep inside
Oh, you're so cold, but it still shows

Well, I can take a vacant stare
Well, it's so much to say
Now, it seems a waste
But if you don't want me to know
What's going on inside
Just tell me now and I'll go

You told me about school
I only want to know about you
And I'm hungry for it now
I'm starving for it now
And now you know

But if you care about me
(Tell me now)
If I'm better than the wall
(Tell me now)
If it's important that I touch your arm at night
You'd better
Tеll me now
