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.

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.

You just

on.

Call me if you need a friend

Uh huh.

Call me if you need a friend.

Call me.

Uh huh.

Call me.

Call me.

Call me.

Call me.

Call me.
