[Verse 1]
Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs
That you won't let show

[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Lean on me
(Lean on me)
When you're not strong
(When you're not strong)
And I'll be your friend
(And I will help you)
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
(For it won't be long)
'Til I'm gonna need
('Til I'm gonna need)
Somebody to lean on
[Bridge]
You just call on me brother, when you need a friend
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

[Verse 3]
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

[Outro]
(Call me) Won't you call me?
(Call me) Oh, call me!
(Call me) You know what you've got to do, yeah-yeah
(Call me) If you ever need a friend
(Call me) You know what you've got to do
(Call me) Ooh!
(Call me) Will you call me?
(Call me) If you ever need a friend
(Call me) You can just call me!
(Call me) Ahhh!
(Call me) You know what you've got to do, yeah
(Call me) Ohhhh
(Call me) You can just call me
(Call me)
