Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
[Chorus]
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on, lean on me
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on, lean on me
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on, lean on me
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on, lean on me
For, said it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Lean on me
When you're not strong
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on, lean on me
For, said it won't be long
Won't be too long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
[Outro]
We be jamming, we be jamming (Hey, now)
We be jamming
We be jamming, we be jamming (Hey)
We be jamming
[Outro]
(Just call me) Uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) Oh, baby now
(Call me) Uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) Oh, baby now
(Call me) Uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) Oh, baby now
(Call me) Uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) Early in the morning now
[Outro]
Pump it up, pump it up
Pump it up, homeboy, just like that
Pump it up, pump it up
Pump it up, homeboy, just like that
Pump it up, pump it up
Pump it up, homeboy, just like that
