Verse 1

Told you I'd be there by seven o'clock

Long before that, I was out on your block

You came down laughing, said "You're early, again?"

I'd rather wait out here than leave you wondering when

Talk is light, so I let the work be the proof

Fixed up the tap and the leak in your roof

(no fuss)

I don't say much, but I'm saying this one

(listen close)

Lean back, my love, the heavy lifting is done

Hook

Hey baby, just lean on me

(lean on me)

Lay your head right here, close as you can be

Girl, I got you, now let your guard come down

Lean all your weight in, I'll be holding the ground

(holding ground)

Verse 2

Used to read the map for every mile

Now you sleep beside me with half of a smile

Had a plan B folded tight inside your purse

These days you let me handle it, for better or worse

(leave it to me)

You're dancing barefoot while the dinner cooks

Singing out of tune, not caring how it looks

(sing it loud)

I never asked you to soften, that's a road you chose

(you chose it)

Nobody can demand it, that's just how trust grows

Hook

Hey baby, just lean on me

(lean on me)

Lay your head right here, close as you can be

Girl, I got you, now let your guard come down

Lean all your weight in, I'll be holding the ground

(holding ground)

Bridge

Some days hit heavy, and I feel it too

(that's life)

But tired never stopped me doing what I swore I'd do

And on the evenings I go quiet, you just pull me near

(come here)

You don't try to fix it, you just let me know you're here

Hook

Don't take my word for it, let the years decide

I'll be the same man standing at your side

Lay it on me, baby, when the days get rough

I don't talk a lot, but I do enough

(these words are true)

Outro

Ooh, lean on me
