[Verse 1]
Just because you know I love you so much
Don't be afraid to tell me you are sad
Because you lost his love
Though your love is not for me
I don't wanna to see you in misery
So come on, baby come on

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

[Verse 2]
Big girls ain't supposed to cry
If you do I will understand
Maybe I can show you how you can win his love again
It may seem strange I know
But it is just that I love you
So come on, baby come on

[Chorus]
You can cry on my shoulder
You can cry on my shoulder
And bring all your troubles to me
(Bring them to me, girl)

[Verse 3]
Now you've given him all you had
He better stop treating you so bad
Come on baby (Come on, come on)
Come on, oh yeah

[Chorus]
You can cry on my shoulder, yes you can girl
You can cry on my shoulder
And bring all your troubles to me
(Bring them to me, girl)
Yeah babe, yes you can now
Darling, ooh, ooh yes, yes you can girl
I will be there to help

[Outro]
You can cry, you can cry, you can cry
Baby
(You can cry on my shoulder)
Oh yeah babe, yeah babe
(You can cry on my shoulder)
You can cry, you can cry

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
