Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if, 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
That you need to borrow
No one, no one can fill
Those of your needs
That you won't let show
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
Lean on me, Gene
Now 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
Somebody to lean on
Need somebody
Just wanna lean on you
You can lean on me
Somebody
Oh, somebody
Want somebody to
Someone, someone
Somebody
Somebody to lean on
