About The Song
If you’re a fan of country music, then you know Toby Keith. With his signature twang and down-to-earth lyrics, Keith has been one of the most popular country music singers for over two decades. He’s known for his chart-topping hits like “Should’ve Been a Cowboy”, “I Love This Bar”, and “Red Solo Cup”. But Keith is more than just a hit-maker. He’s also a talented songwriter and a true patriot.
Tender As I Wanna Be
One of Keith’s most tender and personal songs is “Tender As I Wanna Be”. The song was released in 2009 as the second single from his album “American Ride”. It’s a beautiful ballad about love, loss, and redemption.
The song begins with Keith singing about how he’s never been good at expressing his emotions. He’s always been a tough guy, but he’s starting to realize that he needs to be more tender with the people he loves.
A Song for the Tough Guys
“Tender As I Wanna Be” is a song for anyone who’s ever been afraid to show their true feelings. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to be vulnerable, and that sometimes the strongest people are the ones who are the most tender.
The song is also a reminder that love is the most powerful force in the world. It can heal wounds, mend broken hearts, and give us the strength to overcome anything.

Lyric
I know sometimes you need me to be tenderI don’t give you much to go on So I’m amazed at how you hold on to me Baby girl I’ve never been this close before Never opened up that door I’m still finding my waySomething else that lovers doWhen I’ve been by myself Never had to talk about Movin’ in with someone elseThen you kiss my faceAnd it makes me smile Girl I want to lay with you, Right here with you For a little while When I feel that rush Coming down all over me You’re as fast as I can see That’s tender as I wanna be Tender as I wanna be Girl it’s so tenderNo maybe it’s that hardTo find someone to please me Or it could be that real true love Sometimes don’t come easy No it don’t come easyThen you kiss my faceAnd it makes me smile Girl I want to lay with you, Right here with you For a little while When I feel that rush Coming down all over me You’re as fast as I can see That’s tender as I wanna be Tender as I wanna be Girl it’s so tender
