Chorus 1:
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 gon-na need,
Some-body to lean on.
Verse 2:
Please, swal-low your pride,
If I have things, you need to bor-row.
For, no one can fill, those of your needs,
That you don't let show.
Bridge 1:

So, 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 2:
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 gon-na need,
Some-body to lean on.
Bridge 2:

So, 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.

If, there is a load, you have to bear,
That you can't car-ry.
I'm right up the road; I'll share your load,
If you just call me.
