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.

Call me,

call me,

call me,

call me.
