[Chorus]
Well, we all need someone we can lean on
And if you want it, well, you can lean on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can lean on
And if you want it, well, you can lean on me
[Verse 1]
She said, "My breasts, they will always be open
Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me
And there will always be a space in my parking lot
When you need a little coke and sympathy"
[Chorus]
Yeah, we all need someone we can dream on
And if you want it, baby, well, you can dream on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can cream on, yeah
And if you want to, well, you can cream on me
[Verse 2]
I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement
When you drunk my health in scented jasmine tea
But you knifed me in my dirty, filthy basement
With that jaded, faded, junky nurse - oh, what pleasant company Ha!
[Chorus]
Come on, we all need someone we can feed on
Yeah, and if you want it, well, you can feed on me
Hey, take my arm, take my leg
Oh baby, don't you take my head
Woo
[Chorus]
Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on
Yeah, and if you want it, baby, well, you can bleed on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can bleed on
Yeah yeah, and if you want it, baby, why don't you bleed on me ? (All over, woo!)
[Instrumental Bridge]
Yeah
[Verse 3]
(Come on, babe)
Ah, get it on rider, woo, get it on rider, get it on rider
You can bleed all over me, yeah
Get it on rider, woo, get it on rider, yeah
You can be my rider, you can come all over me, oh
Get it on rider, babe, get it on rider, get it on rider
You can come all over me
Yeah...
Come on, get it on, rider, let it come all over me
Yeah, yeah...
Get it on, rider
Get it on, rider
Well, we all need someone we can lean on
And if you want it, well, you can lean on me
Yeah, we all need someone we can lean on
And if you want it, well, you can lean on me

And there will always be a space in my parking lot
