Sometimes in life we all have pain
We all have sorrow, we all have shame
But if we are wise, then we all know
That there's always a tomorrow
Baby, lean on me when you're not strong
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
It might not be long 'til I might need
Somebody to lean on
If you got a load that you can't bear
No one is concerned, nobody cares
Well, I'll lighten up your load if you'll just let me know
And all you got to do is call me
And just lean on me when you're not strong
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
It might not be long 'til I might need
Somebody to lean on
Honey, lean on me when you're not strong
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
'Cos it might not be long 'til I might need
Somebody to lean on
Now if you've got a problem, I'll understand
And if there's something you need, I'll give you a hand
But I can't feel your wants or your needs
If you don't let me know
You've got to lean on me when you're not strong
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
It might not be long 'til I might need
Somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
It might not be long 'til I might need
Somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
It might not be long 'til I might need
Somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
It might not be long 'til I might need
Somebody
