Eileen, won't you lean on me
This is no life living here without you
This is no way for me to get alone
Now that I know I'm no good without you
Eileen, Eileen

Eileen, won't you lean on me, please
How much I had baby, when I had you
I'm destitute this way
I'm doing time living here without you
Eileen, Eileen, Eileen, Eileen

Eileen, no I'm coming clean
I guess no substitute will do, yeah
What do I do baby, to impress you
Now that I'm blown and thrown out the way
Eileen, Eileen

Eileen, you can lean on me
Baby, I'm dead in a cruel world without you
Eileen, lean on me, lean on me
Lean on me, lean on me, lean on me

Baby, won't you lean on me
Baby, won't you lean on me
Baby, won't you lean on me
Baby, won't you lean on me
