You Can Cry On My Shoulder - Lyrics

Produced by Hal Davis
Composed by Berry Gordy


Just because you know
I love you so much
Don’t be afraid to tell me
You’re sad because
You lost his love
Though your love is not for me
I don’t wanna see you in misery
So come on, baby, come on

You can cry on my shoulder
You can cry on my shoulder
And bring all your troubles to me
All your troubles to me

Big girls ain’t supposed to cry
If you do I’ll understand
Maybe I can show you how
You can win his love again
It may seem strange I know
But it’s just that I love you so
Come on, baby, come on

You can cry on my shoulder
You can cry on my shoulder
And bring all your troubles to me
All your troubles to me

Now you’ve given him all you had
He’d never stop treating you so bad
Come on, baby, come on, yeah
You can cry on my shoulder
Yes you can, girl
You can cry on my shoulder
And bring all your troubles to me
Yes you can, now darling
Yes you can, girl
I’ll be there in a hurry
