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 
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
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'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on

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