[Intro]
      


[Verse 1]
                               
  You always said that I'd come back to you again
                                   
  'Cause everybody needs a friend, it's true
                     
 Someone to quiet the voices in my head
                                
Make 'em sing to me instead, it's you


[Pre-Chorus]

  Hate to say that I love you
                          
  Hate to say that I need you

  Hate to say that I want you
      
But I do


[Chorus]

  Bad habit, I know
                    
But I'm needin' you right now
             
Can you help me out?
              
Can I lean on you?

  Been one of those days
              
I don't wanna come out
             
Can you help me out?
              
Can I lean on you?


[Verse 2]
                           
  You make me feel like I'm floatin' off the ground
                          
Above this little town, you do
                                   
  Look at me smile with tears in my eyes
                        
I love the way you lie, I do


[Pre-Chorus]

  Hate to say that I'm lonely

  Hate to say that I miss you

  Hate to say that it's dark in here
         
But it's true, oh


[Chorus]

  Bad habit, I know
                    
But I'm needin' you right now
             
Can you help me out?
              
Can I lean on you?

  Been one of those days
              
I don't wanna come out
             
Can you help me out?
              
Can I lean on you?


[Post-Chorus]
      
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
              
Can I lean on you?
      
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
              
Can I lean on you?


[Pre-Chorus]

  Hate to say that I'm lonely

  Hate to say that I miss you

  Hate to say that it's dark in here
         
But it's true, oh


[Chorus]

  Bad habit, I know
                    
But I'm needin' you right now
             
Can you help me out?
              
Can I lean on you?

      
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
              
Can I lean on you?
      
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
    
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
              
Can I lean on you?


[Outro]

  Hate to say that I love you

  Hate to say that I need you

  Hate to say that I want you
      
But I do
