"Lean On Me" lyrics
(originally by Bill Withers)
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'd 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
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, said 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 (Hey)
We be jamming
(Just call me) Uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) Oh, baby now
(Call me) Uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) Oh baby now
(Call me) Uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) Oh, baby now
(Call me) Uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) Early in the morning now
Drop it up, drop it up
Drop it up, boy, just like that
Drop it up, drop it up
Drop it up, boy, just like that
Drop it up, drop it up
Drop it up boy just like that
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'd 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
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, said 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 (Hey)
We be jamming
(Just call me) Uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) Oh, baby now
(Call me) Uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) Oh baby now
(Call me) Uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) Oh, baby now
(Call me) Uh, when you need a friend
(Call me) Early in the morning now
Drop it up, drop it up
Drop it up, boy, just like that
Drop it up, drop it up
Drop it up, boy, just like that
Drop it up, drop it up
Drop it up boy just like that
