They say it gets so hot that you could almost scream 

this world can be so cold that sometimes 

you just don't know how your gonna survive

listen baby 



Chorus:

I'll always be there for you 

pick you up when you fall

You never needed anyone 

you couldn't swallow your pride

now your back's to the wall



If you lean on me I will lean on you 

put your hand in mine we can make it through 

I'll be your backbone girl shelter from the storm 

When it's cold outside I can keep you warm



If you lean on me



thie skies get so grey 

you think there's no way the sun will ever shine 

trouble resting on your mind with nowhere to find

Listen baby



Chorus



You think you're the only one to get kicked around

There's been a lot of hearts broken in this dirty old town



If you lean on me



lean on me 

(x4)



I'll always be there for you 

pick you up when you fall 

everybody needs a helping hand 

you've gotta swallow your pride 

yeah and kick down the wall



If you lean on me I will lean on you 

put your hand in mine we can make it through 

I'll be your backbone girl shelter from the storm 

When it's cold outside I can keep you warm 

(x2)
