Lyrics for Lean On You
Written 26th November 2000. Vocals: Forster Park Choir & rap by Douane

Lean on you, ain’t gonna lean on you.
Back to front, upside down, inside out - yeah,
That’s exactly how you’re making me feel,
We were friends, we had fun; we were cool – rain or sun.
Then something came and broke up the deal.

Have I said words to offend?
Have I not been a good friend?
Or is there something that you need to tell me?
If I can fix it I will,
Say the word – send the bill,

I am locked inside a room with no key.

I know I should know what is going on. Yes I should.
We have been friends now for so long – so just tell me what is wrong.

It is so very unfair,
You’ve got me pulling out my hair,
When all I wanna do is get on with you.
You’ve got me wonderin’ what…
I have done or did not do.
I will fall over if I lean on you.

Lean on you? That is the last thing I’d ever do.
Makin’ me feel that I had done something wrong.
When all I did was, like this song - I leaned on you. you let me down.
I’m never gonna trust a single noun you say.
You see I’m OK, there are people I know,
who stop me feelin’ low if I lean on them.
The lying’s gotta stop. I feel as though I’m gonna pop.
If I hear another lie - it’s goodbye.

And now the truth has come out,
It’s kinda swings and roundabouts,
Cause you lied to me and that wasn’t good.
But it was always to be,
We were movin’ separately.
But there ways of sayin’, “I think that we should…”

I should have known just what was going on. Yes I should.
We had been good friends for so long – so ‘so long!’

It is so very unfair,
You’ve got me pulling out my hair,
When all I wanna do is get on with you.
You’ve got me wonderin’ what…
I have done or did not do.
I will fall over if I lean on you.

Ain’t gonna lean on you, ain’t gonna lean on you,

ain’t gonna lean on you, ain’t gonna lean on you. Ain’t gonna lean.
