When the good times are all over
And the going is getting rough
And when you stop laughing
Cause you know you've had enough
Why don't you lean on me,
Why don't you lean on, lean on me
When that smile, you've been smiling
And you're not going, going anyplace
Well, why don't you lean on me,
Why don't you lean on, lean on me
An d I'll show you some things
We'll go to some place where
the trees are still green
And we will walk there together
Yes, we'll walk and walk and walk
And you can tell me all about it
We can talk and talk and talk
So why don't you lean on me?
Why don't you lean on, lean on me?
Why don't you lean on me?
Well, why don't you lean on me?
Why don't you lean on, lean on me?
Oh, why don't you lean on me?
