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

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

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

Just 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
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Just 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

If there is a load
You have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me, call me
Call me, call me, call me, call me
If you need a friend, call me
Call me, call me, call me, call me

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

Lean on, oh yesh, lean on me
You can lean on, lean on me
You can lean on me, lean on me

If you need a friend
Lean on, lean on me
Call me, call me
Lean on, lean on me
You can lean on me
You can lean on, lean on me
Lean on, lean on me
Lean on, lean on me, lean on me
Lean on, lean on me
Just lean on me, just lean on me
If you need a friend
You can, you can, lean on me
