Bill Withers
Lean on Me
[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
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
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

[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

[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
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

[Bridge]
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'd understand
We all 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 the load
If you'll just call me

[Refrain]
(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) Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
[Chorus]
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, somebody to lean on

[Outro]
(Lean on) Oh yeah (Lean on me)
You can lean on me
(Lean on, lean on me) Lean on me
(Lean on) Oh yeah (Lean on me)
If you need a friend
(Lean on) Oh yeah (Lean on me)
Call me, call me
(Lean on, lean on me)
You can lean on me
(Lean on, lean on me)
Lean on
(Lean on) Lean on me (Lean on me)
(Lean on) Lean on me (Lean on me)
(Lean on, lean on me)
Lean on me, lean on me
(Lean on, lean on me)
Just lean on me, if you need a friend
(Lean on, lean on me)
You can, you can lean on me
(Lean on, lean on me)
(Lean on, lean on me)
(Lean on, lean on me)
