A SHOULDER TO CRY ON
(Merle Haggard)

Recorded by : Merle Haggard; Charley Pride.


I came here because I knew I'd be welcome
And because somehow you always understand
You seem to have a way with lonely people
And you always were my greatest helping hand

(Chorus)
Now once again I'm here to take advantage.
Though I don't deserve the arms I left alone
I need to know there's someone who still loves me.
And I need a shoulder to cry on

I over looked the love you tried so hard to give.
The love I never seem to understand
I always stay just long enough to hurt you
And what little love I gave was second hand

(Chorus)

Now once again I'm here to take advantage
Cause once again the one I love is gone
I need to know there's someone who still loves me.
And I need a shoulder to cry on

Yes I need to know there's someone who still loves me.
And I need a shoulder to cry on
