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 something you need to borrow
For 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
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
Well, 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
Come on, now

(Call me) Well, if you need a friend
(Call me) Oh, baby, now
(Call me) Well, if you need a friend
(Call me) Oh, just call me, call me
(Call me) Well, if you need a friend
(Call me) Call me, call me
(Call me) Oh, call me now
(Call me) Call me, call me
(Call me) Well, if you need a friend
(Call me) If you need me, call me
