[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 to 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

[Verse 3]
And if there, there is a load
That you have to bear
That you can't carry
Oh, I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me

[Outro]
Oh, call me
When you need a friend
(Call me)
When you need a hand
(Call me)
Oh
(Call me)
Call me
(Call me)
Call me
(Call me)
Oh, call me
