Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow.
But if we are not wise, we know that there’s always tomorrow.

Lean on me when you’re not strong
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
