Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
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 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
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can feel those of your needs
That you won't let show
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
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
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
We be jamming, we be jamming, hey now
We be jamming
We be jamming, we be jamming, man, hey
We be jamming
(Just call me) ah when you need a friend
(Call me) oh baby now
(Call me) ah when you need a friend
(Call me) oh baby now
(Call me) ah when you need a friend
(Call me) oh baby now
(Call me) lean on me
