| Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow | |
| But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow | |

| Refrain: | |
| Lean on me when you're not strong | |
| I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on | |
| For it won't be long til 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 don't let show | |
| ... Refrain | |

| 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 | |
| - - - | |
| 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 ... Refrain | |
