coat of many colors
dolly parton
Back through the years dolly parton
I go wonderin' once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my momma put the rags to use
There were rags of many colors
Every piece was small
And I didn't have a coat
And it was way down in the fall
Momma sewed the rags together
Sewin' every piece with love
She made my coat of many colors
That I was so proud of
As she sewed, she told a story
From the bible, she had read
About a coat of many colors
Joseph wore and then she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you
Good luck and happiness
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
And momma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colors
That my momma made for me
Made only from rags
But I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money
I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
So with patches on my britches
Holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colors
I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing
And making fun of me
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
And oh I couldn't understand it
For I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love
My momma sewed in every stitch
And I told 'em all the story
Momma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colors
Was worth more than all their clothes
But they didn't understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colors
My momma made for me
Made just for me

tenderness
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away
Cold, cold di world so cold
Mi waash someone to have and to hold
Ina di nite, when di feelings a bite
Hug mi up, squeeze mi up mek mi feel right
Forget di problems, everybody have dem
Tonight mi just naah feature dem
I, just wanna lay with you,
And be an island in this sea of confusion
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away
Just a little tenderness
With the lights down low,
When the world is just two people,
And love is all we need to know
Everybody got an idea
Of what's right, what's right for me
I'm just tryin' to survive and
Live my life peacefully
This one wants to educate me
This one wants to dominate me
The other one's tryin' to wear me down
Talkin' outta both sides of the mouth, oh
I, just wanna lay with you,
And be an island in this sea of confusion
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away
Just a little tenderness
With the lights down low,
When the world is just two people,
And love is all we need to know
I, just wanna lay with you,
And be an island in this sea of confusion
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away
Just a little tenderness
With the lights down low,
When the world is just two people,
And love is all we need to know
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the day
Is all a woman needs, to take her fears away
Just a little tenderness
At the end of the night
When the world is just two people,
