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.

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.
