I Need Somebody To Lean On
Yearning for Comfort: Elvis Presley's Cry for Support
Lyrics
I need somebody to lean on
I am in need of emotional support and comfort from someone.
I need somebody to tell my troubles to
I require someone to confide in and share my troubles with.
No use denying, I'm close to cryin'
It's futile to deny that I am on the verge of crying, expressing emotional vulnerability.
But what good, tell me what good would my crying do
Questioning the purpose of crying, pondering whether it would bring any positive change.
I need somebody to help me
I am seeking assistance from someone to help me overcome my challenges.
Help me forget all those worries on my mind
Desiring support to forget the worries weighing on my mind.
And when I'm lonely, if someone would only
Expressing loneliness and a wish for someone to be compassionate and kind during such times.
Want to be sweet and kind
Hoping for someone who is willing to be sweet and kind when I'm feeling low.
I need somebody, won't that somebody
Reiterating the need for somebody to provide support and listen to my plea.
Please, please listen to my plea
A plea for someone to attentively hear and understand my emotional needs.
Need that somebody, won't that somebody
Emphasizing the ongoing need for a supportive person in my life.
Come running to me
An invitation for that somebody to come quickly and offer support.
I need somebody to lean on
Reiterating the desire for someone to lean on for emotional support.
I'm tired of being unhappy and so blue
Expressing weariness of being unhappy and feeling blue.
If she came I would hold her 'cause I need that shoulder
If a particular person came, I would embrace them, as I need their shoulder to lean on.
To lean on, yes I really do
Affirming the need for a supportive shoulder to lean on, emphasizing the genuine necessity.
I need somebody, and maybe that somebody is you
Concluding by restating the need for somebody, suggesting the listener could be that supportive somebody.
