You know, sometimes in our lives
We all gotta depend on somebody
Sometime, somewhere
To lean on
Oh yeah

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
Boy, it won't be long 'til 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
Boy, it won't be long 'til 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's a load
You'll 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, call me
Call me, if you need a friend
Call me, call me
Call me, call me
Call me, if you need a friend
Call me
