Y'know, 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
Oh, for, for it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
So, please, swallow your pride
If I have things
You need to borrow
Y'know, no, 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
Well, 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, 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
Well, I just might have
A problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Well, if there is a load
You have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right, I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just will call me
If you need a friend
Oh, call me
I'll be there
Call me, yeah
