Hmm... hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm

Sometimes in our lives

We all have pain

We all have sorrow


But if we are wise

We know that there's always tomorrow


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

Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on


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


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'll 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

Till 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'll understand

We all need somebody to lean on


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


Call me

If you need a friend

(call me)

Call me (call me)

If you need a friend

(call me)

If you ever need a friend

(call me)

Call me

(call me) Call me

(call me) Call me

(call me) Call me

(call me)


If you need a friend

(call me)

Call me

(call me) Call me

(call me) Call me

(call me) Call me

(call me)
