“Lean on Me” Lyrics

Hmm... hmm-hmm-

Hmm-hmm

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Hmm-hmm-hmm

Hmm-hmm

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.

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.

 

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.

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

 

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.

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.

Call me if you need a friend

Call me, call me,

Uh-Huh..

Call me

When you need a friend

Call me

If you ever need a friend

Call me, Call me

Call me, Call me

Call me, Call me

Call me, Call me

Call me

If you need a friend

Call me, Call me

Call me, Call me

Call me, Call me

Call me, Call me

Call me
