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)

If you need a friend
