Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if, if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long, 'til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have things that you need to borrow
No one, no one can fill
Those of your needs that you won't let show

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long, 'til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on, yeah

Just call, call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me, Gene

Now just call, call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, baby, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long, 'til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Somebody to lean on
Need somebody, lean on
Just wanna lean on me, lean on
You can lean on me, lean on me, lean on

Somebody to lean on
Oh, lean on
Somebody to lean on
Won't somebody tell me? Lean on
Someone, someone, lean on
Somebody, somebody to lean on me
