They say it gets so hot that you could almost scream This world can be so cold that sometimes You just don't know how your gonna survive Listen baby Chorus: I'll always be there for you Pick you up when you fall You never needed anyone You couldn't swallow your pride Now your back's to the wall If you lean on me I will lean on you Put your hand in mine we can make it through I'll be your backbone girl shelter from the storm When it's cold outside I can keep you warm If you lean on me Thie skies get so grey You think there's no way the sun will ever shine Trouble resting on your mind with nowhere to find Listen baby Chorus You think you're the only one to get kicked around There's been a lot of hearts broken in this dirty old town If you lean on me Lean on me (X4) I'll always be there for you Pick you up when you fall Everybody needs a helping hand You've gotta swallow your pride Yeah and kick down the wall If you lean on me I will lean on you Put your hand in mine we can make it through I'll be your backbone girl shelter from the storm When it's cold outside I can keep you warm (X2)
