Lean on Me (album version) Lyrics

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 fill 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 understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.

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.

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry,
I'm right up the road
And I'll share your load if you just call me.

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 understand.
We all need somebody to lean on.

Lean on me when you're not strong. (When you're not strong)
I'll be your friend. (I'll be your friend.)
I'll help you carry on. (Lean on me)
For, for it won't be long (Won't be too long)
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.

We be jammin', we be jammin'. (Hey now.)
We be jammin', we be jammin'.
We be jammin', we be jammin', (Hey.) we be jammin'.
We be jammin'.

Just call me when you need a friend.
(Call me.) Oh, baby now.
(Call me.) When you need a friend.
(Call me.) Oh, oh, oh, baby.
(Call me.) Uh, when you need a friend.
(Call me.) Oh, baby now.
(Call me.) When you need a friend.
(Call me.) Early in the morning now
