I need somebody

To lean on

I need somebody to tell my troubles to no use denying

I'm close to crying

But what good

Tell me what good would my crying do

I need somebody to help me

Help me forget all those worries on my mind

And when I'm lonely

If someone would only

I wanna be sweet and kind

I need somebody

Want that somebody

Please please listen to my plea

Need that somebody

Won't that somebody

Come running to me

I need somebody to lean on

I'm tired of being unhappy and so blue

If she came I would hold her

Cause I need that shoulder to lean on

Yes I really do

I need somebody

And baby that somebody

Is you

You
