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
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 you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show

So 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 and I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Just lean on me
You 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 if there is a load
You have to bare 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
When you need a friend
Call me, call me
When you need a friend

Call me when you need a friend
Call me if you need a friend
Call me any time of day
Call me

It won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody
To lean on, lean on, lean on me

Lean, lean on me
You gonna lean on me
I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
