Lean On Me

Bill Withers, Lean On Me: The Best of Bill Withers, 1972

Writer: Bill Withers

Producer: Bill Withers

Some… times 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 help you carry on.
For… it won’t be long,
’til 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.

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’ll understand,
we all need somebody to lean on

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,
’til I’m gonna need
somebody to lean on.

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’ll understand,
we all 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. (call me)
