Maybe you don't know me anymore than I
Know you
And I wouldn't blame you if you walked away
I've been watching you all evening with the teardrops in your eyes
And it touches me with much more than I can
Say

You know that I hate to think that someone could have hurt someone like you
And if I were there, I'd be right by your side
Won't you lay your troubles on my shoulders?
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

You know that I saw you in the corner
And the moment I walked in
I saw your lonely face across the room

No, I won't forget and the way it might have been
Hey, tell me, did you have to leave so soon?
You know that I hate to think that someone
Could have loved you more than me
And at times like this, I'd be right by your side

Won't you lay your troubles on my shoulders?
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile, oh-oh-oh-oh
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

Tell me, how long must I wait?
The man is meant to be here
But the worst things to come
I know that I belong just for you
Now, you have the money
And the money might have you
Well, I was there for the love
I just didn't know how to begin

Oh-oh-oh-oh, lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Oh-oh-oh-oh, lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

Yeah-yeah-yeah, lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Lay your troubles on my shoulder
Put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

You tell me, how long must I wait?
Now, the man is meant to be here
With the worst things to come
I know that I belong just for you
I say, now, you may have the money
And the money might have you
Well, I was there for the love I just didn't know how to begin
