Patti Austin
"Lean on Me"

Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's
Always tomorrow

Please, swallow your pride
If I have things
You need to borrow
For no one can fill
All of your needs, oh no
That you won't let show

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

If there is a load
That you must bear
That you cannot carry
Well, I'll be right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
Oh, why don't you call me

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
Oh, 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
Somebody to lean on

Oh, just call on me, brother
When you need a hand
We all need someone that we can lean on
I might have a problem
And I know you'll understand me
Yes, you will
Yes, you will
We need somebody that we can lean on

Call me
Call me
Call me
Call me
Because we need somebody that we can lean on
Y'got t'call me
Call me
Any time
Day or night
You know I'm gonna make it alright
If you call me you have somebody
Call me
You wanna lean
It's gonna be alright
Any time
Day or night
You can lean on me

Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
