Jack Vidgen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes in our lives, we all need friends we all have sorrow
But if we are wise, we know that there's always tomorrow

Hey yeah! whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa Hey yeah!

Lean on me, when your not strong
And i'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long t'ill 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
If you won't let it show

Just call on your 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 your not strong
And i'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long t'ill I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

Just lean 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

Hey yeah-a-yeah lean on me Hey yeah
Lean on me yeah
Lean lean lean on me

For it won't be long t'ill im gonna need somebody to lean on

Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa lean on me

Tell your sister, tell your brother
Lean on, lean on me
