Background Vocals: R. Kelly & Cynthia Jernigan Although we've been through our ups and downs If we believe and have faith We can conquer anything Baby I know we could work this out 1 - Lean on me and I'll lean on you It is the only way for us to make it through Lean on me and I'll lean on you It is the only way for us to make it through I know we've been through some hard times, boy And it didn't seem like we were gonna make it So many things has changed between us two Though we fuss and fight with one another We're so afraid to loose each other Repeat 1 I know that we can conquer anything If we put our hearts together We can make it Don't let our friends come between this ring And don't let what we have worked so hard for Be in vain Repeat 1 All of those years All the years we made Say they count for something, babe How we used to trust When it came to one of us Neither wants to leave Now there's such a mystery So whenever you need You can lean on me Repeat 1 until fade
