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'd 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

I said for it won't be long 'til I'm gonna need

Somebody to lean on
