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 have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill those 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

 '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 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 … call me … call me … call me …
