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
 Till 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

 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, when you're not strong
 And 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

 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

 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
 If you need a friend
 (Call me)
 Call me
 (Call me)
 If you need a friend
 (Call me)
 If you ever need a friend
 (Call me)

 Call me
 (Call me)
 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
