(Words music by Pomus - Shuman) I need somebody to lean on I need somebody to tell my troubles to No use denying, I'm close to cryin' 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 Want to be sweet and kind
I need somebody, won't 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 maybe that somebody is you Mmmmmmm
