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

If there is a load
You have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up that road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

Just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
Say we all need somebody to lean on
You just might have a problem that we understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load
That you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up that road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Call on me
Call on me
Call me

We all need help
So won't you please

Everybody
We all need help
Sisters and brothers
Help my brothers and sisters

Call me
You got the number
Area code 213 764 3210
Call me

Please, swallow your pride
If I have things
That 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
You just might have a problem that we'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
