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 have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those 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't 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

You just call on me brother if you need a friend
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

(Repeat) ...
