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 I have things you need to borrow 
 For no one can fill those of your needs 
 That you don't let show   
 So 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   
 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   
 So 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 bear 
 That you can't carry 
 I'm right up the road 
 I'll share your load 
 If you just call me 
 Call me, call me, call me, call me 
 Call me, call me, call me, call me   
 It won't be long 
 Till I'm gonna need 
 Somebody to lean on, lean on, lean on me 
 Lean on me 
 Yeah   
 I'm gonna need 
 Somebody to lean on 
 I'm gonna need 
 Somebody to lean on 
 Me, yeah
