Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill all of your needs
Oh no, 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
If there is a load that you must bear
That you cannot carry
Well, I'll be right up the road
I'll share your load if you just call me
Don't you call me
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
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
Somebody to lean on, oh yes I will
Just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody that we can lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody
We need somebody that we can lean on
Call me, call me, call me, call me
We need somebody that we can lean on
You got to call me, call me anytime
Yeah you know, you know I'm gonna make it alright
If you call me you'll have somebody
Call me, you wanna lean, it's gonna be alright
Anytime, day and night you lean on me
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
