You walked over, said hey, and you told me her name But I didn't hear it Might've walked out of that bar, but I ran to my car Like smoke disappearing I don't know why I'm surprised, I know I ain't got the right To react like you're mine anymore, but Seeing someone with you, just hit me out of the blue Something 'bout it cut right to the core I need a drink, but damn it, I'm driving Said I was fine, but damn it, I'm lying Thought I could fake a smile, at least a couple miles Turns out, I ain't that strong I need to talk, but we ain't talking Tears need to fall, and I can't stop 'em This heart's about to break right on the interstate I ain't gonna make it home So I'm pulling over 'Cause I need a shoulder to cry on I got plenty of gas, ain't nothing gone flat Just needed a minute To have a little breakdown, go and get it all out right now The highway and me I need a drink, but damn it, I'm driving Said I was fine, but damn it, I'm lying Thought I could fake a smile, at least a couple miles Turns out, I ain't that strong I need to talk, but we ain't talking Tears need to fall, and I can't stop 'em This heart's about to break right on the interstate I ain't gonna make it home So I'm pulling over 'Cause I need a shoulder to cry on Oh, oh, I need a shoulder to cry on Oh-oh, whoa I need a drink, but damn it, I'm driving Said I was fine, but damn it, I'm lying Thought I could fake a smile, at least a couple miles Turns out, I ain't that strong, no I need to talk, but we ain't talking Tears need to fall, and I can't stop 'em This heart's about to break right on the interstate I ain't gonna make it home So I'm pulling over 'Cause I need a shoulder to cry on

Life is full of lots of up and downs But the distance feels further when you're headed for the ground And there is nothing more painful than to let your feelings take you down It's so hard to know the way you feel inside When there's many thoughts and feelings that you hide But you might feel better if you let me walk with you By your side And when you need a shoulder to cry on When you need a friend to rely on When the whole world is gone You won't be alone, cause I'll be there I'll be your shoulder to cry on I'll be there I'll be a friend to rely on When the whole world is gone You won't be alone, cause I'll be there All of the times when everything is wrong And you're feeling like there's no use going on You can't give it up I hope you work it out and carry on Side by side, with you till the end I'll always be the one to firmly hold your hand No matter what is said or done our love will always continue on Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on Everyone needs a friend to rely on When the whole world is gone You won't be alone cause I'll be there I'll be your shoulder to cry on I'll be there (I'll be there) I'll be a friend to rely on When the whole world is gone You won't be alone, cause I'll be there You'll have my shoulder to cry on I'll be there (I'll be there) I'll be the one you rely on When the whole world's gone You won't be alone, cause I'll be there And when the whole world's gone You'll always have my shoulder to cry on

Yeah baby, I've been drinking, And I shouldn't come by I know But I found myself in trouble darling, And I had no place else to go Got some whiskey from a bar man, Got some cocaine from a friend I just had to keep on moving, Till I was back in your arms again ---- Well I'm guilty, yeah I'm guilty, I'll be guilty for the rest of my life How come I never do, What I'm supposed to do Nothing that I try to do ever turns out right ---- Well you know how it is with me baby, You know I just can't stand myself It takes a whole lot of medicine, For me to pretend to be somebody else.

Nobody else could make me happy No one could hurt me like you do You were the only one that mattered Then you were gone, love had moved on Left me alone thinking of You, there was never any other You, and I were created to be true Isn't it love that keeps us breathing Isn't it love we're sent here for Wasn't that love that we were feeling (That was something baby) Deep in our soul, deeper than we know Keeping me holding out for You, there was never any question You'll be forever on my mind You and I, we were meant to be together True hearts in a world where love is dyin' And I might as well have been dyin' when We were apart When you came back I felt the beating of my heart You, there was never any question You'll be forever on my mind You and I, we were meant to be together You, and only you It was you, only you You, always you

As I walk along I wonder what went wrong With our love a love that was so strong And as I still walk on I think of the things We've done together while our hearts were young I'm a walking in the rain to the bone I feel the pain Wishing you were here by me to end this misery And I wonder I w-w-wonder why you ran away And I wonder if you will stay my little runaway my runaway I'm a walking in the rain to the bone I feel the pain Wishing you were here by me to end this misery And I wonder I w-w-wonder baby yeah you know why you ran away And I wonder if you will stay my little runaway my little runaway Come back baby (Run, run, runaway) You left me standing in the rain (Run, run, runaway) Come back baby (Run, run, runaway) Standing in the rain (Run, run, runaway)
