- Why Are You Leaning On Me Sir Lyrics / with translationsWhy Are You Leaning On Me Sir
Notice you’ve kept me waiting, it was obvious to me
You want to know about me, well my father’s from Galilee
Do you question every man you meet from out of town
Isn’t it clear I’m only here to lay my body down
Chorus
Why are you leaning on me, sir
why are you leaning on me, brother
can’t we love one another
what have you got to lose
what have you got to lose
A little food and a little sleep, that’s all I’m asking
for
Just a place to wash my face and really nothing more
Do you really have a heart to turn a man away
Now that it’s late, where would I start to find a place
to stay
Chorus
Why are you leaning on me, sir
Why are you leaning on me, brother
Can´ t we love one another
What have you got to lose
What have you got to lose
Why are you leaning on me, sir
Why are you leaning on me, brother
Notice you’ve kept me waiting, it was obvious to me
You want to know about me, well my father’s from Galilee
Do you question every man you meet from out of town
Isn’t it clear I’m only here to lay my body down
Chorus
Why are you leaning on me, sir
why are you leaning on me, brother
can’t we love one another
what have you got to lose
what have you got to lose
A little food and a little sleep, that’s all I’m asking
Just a place to wash my face and really nothing more
Do you really have a heart to turn a man away
Now that it’s late, where would I start to find a place
to stay
Chorus
Why are you leaning on me, sir
Why are you leaning on me, brother
Can´ t we love one another
What have you got to lose
What have you got to lose
Why are you leaning on me, sir
Why are you leaning on me, brother
