  • Feels good, everybody
    Tender lover, tender love

    Eleanor Rigby
    Spends half her life all alone
    No fault of her own
    Made a decision
    Love has no place in her home
    Love it has a right to go

    Love has no limit
    If you believe in love
    It'll open up so
    Don't even give in
    'Cause if it starts to give
    Just hold on
    We didn't didn't make it
    But love'll get you by
    If you only try
    Just don't give up on love
    'Cause it didn't work out this time

    Tender lover, girl, I'm so sorry
    Well I never meant to hurt you
    I never meant to break your heart
    Tender love, so broken hearted
    Well I never meant to break your
    Break your little tender heart

    Don't ever give up
    In spite of our love
    Love is much too precious
    It's greater than both of us
    There's more than enough
    Keep lookin' for love
    Just be a believer
    It'll give you what you want

    Sky is the limit
    If you believe in love
    It'll open up so
    Don't ever give in
    'Cause if it starts to give
    Just hold on
    We didn't didn't make it
    But love'll get you by
    If you only try
    Just don't give up on love
    'Cause it didn't work out this time

    [Hook]
    My tender lover
    Tender lover, tender love
    Tender lover, tender love

    Love has no limit
    If you believe in love
    It'll open up so
    Don't even give in
    'Cause if it starts to give
    Just hold on
    We didn't didn't make it
    But love'll get you by
    If you only try
    Just don't give up on love
    'Cause it didn't work out this time
