(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
