Maybe you don't know me any more 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 much more than I can say I know I hate to think that someone Could have hurt someone like you And if I was him I'd be right by your side Lay your troubles on my shoulder Put your worries in my pocket Rest your love on me a while Lay your troubles on my shoulder Put your worries in my pocket Rest your love on me a while Saw you in the car on the moment I walked in Saw your lonely face across the room No, I won't forget it And the way it might have been Why did you have to leave me so soon? I know 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 Lay your troubles on my shoulder Put your worries in my pocket Rest your love on me a while Lay your troubles on my shoulder Put your worries in my pocket Rest your love on me a while How long must I wait For the last train to be here And the last chance to come Get to think that I was born too soon How long, honey, when the love ain't gon' come? I was there when you left Just didn't know how to begin Lay your troubles on my shoulder Put your worries in my pocket Rest your love on me a while Lay your troubles on my shoulder Put your worries in my pocket Rest your love on me a while Lay your troubles on my shoulder Put your worries in my pocket Rest your love on me a while
