Lyrics:

Richards-Jordan

Eileen, won't you lean on me ?
This is no life living here without you
This is no way for me to get along yeah
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 yeah
I'm doing time living here without you
Eileen (Eileen, Eileen) Eileen.

Eileen, I'm coming clean yeah
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, oooh ..

Eileen, ooh yeah (Eileen).

Eileen, you can lean on me
Baby I'm dead in a cruel world without you, yeah
Eileen, lean on me, lean on me
Eileen baby won't you lean on me ?

Lean on me, lean on me ...
