Heard you were going through
quite a rough time
and no way out...
I hope you'll be alright

If you don't mind me asking
What happened to yesterday?
The shoulder you could rest upon
don't run away...

Sing it....

Oh, you can lean on me
Oh, you can lean on me

People have been talking up a storm
Why can't they just...
Just leave things alone
The bigger, the better
the things you seem to tell
Just when it's going well
They bump into you

Let's get out and have a drink
with some friends of mine
This girl named Sheryl was jammin
everyone was losing their minds
I said, wait right here, don't you go nowhere
Don't you move an inch
You know you can lean on me
any time you wish

Oh, you can lean on me
Oh, you can lean on me
Sing it...
Oh, you can lean on me
Oh, you can lean on me

Any time...
solo

Stop to tell you with a pocket of change
A pot of coffee that's two days old
I feel like leaving, but who am I kidding...
Just, just myself
Everyone needs that green
for the situation they put themselves in
Some live in diamond facets
Some live with ???

Oh, you can lean on me
Oh, you can lean on me
Sing it...
Oh, you can lean on me
Oh, you can lean on me

Anytime you want...
