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
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

​

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
Till 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 (call me)
If 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)
