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 be your friend)
I'll help you carry on (lean on me)
For it won't be long
Till 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
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend (I'll be your friend)
I'll help you carry on (lean on me)
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
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 understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend (I'll be your friend)
I'll help you carry on (lean on me)
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna 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
And I'll share your load if you just call me
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend (I'll be your friend)
I'll help you carry on (lean on me)
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
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 understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong (when you're not strong)
And I'll be your friend (I'll be your friend)
I'll help you carry on (lean on me)
For, for it won't be long (won't be too long)
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
We be jammin', we be jammin' (hey now)
We be jammin', we be jammin'
We be jammin, we be jammin' (hey) we be jammin'
We be jammin'
Just call me when you need a friend
(Call me) oh, baby now
Call me when you need a friend
(Call me) oh, oh, oh, baby
Call me, uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) oh, baby now
Call me when you need a friend
Call me early in the morning now
