Lyrics

Some

times in our lives

we all have pain,

we all have sor row,

but

if we are wise

we know that there’s

al ways to mor row.

Lean on me

when you’re not strong,

and I’ll be your friend;

I’ll help you car ry on,

for

it won’t be long

’til I’m gon na need

some bod y to lean on.

Please

swal low your pride

if I have things

you need to bor row,

for

no one can fill

those of your needs

that you won’t let show.

You just call on me, broth er, when you need a hand.

We all need some bod y to lean on.

I just might have a prob lem that you’ll un der stand.

We all need some bod y to lean on.

Lean on me

when you’re not strong,

and I’ll be your friend;

I’ll help you car ry on,

for

it won’t be long

’til I’m gon na need

some bod y to lean on.
