Frederick Knight - I've Been Lonely For So Long lyrics

I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along These ain't rain clouds over my head Everybody's throwing rocks in my bed Just can't seem to get ahead in life Ooh, nothin' I do ever turn out for the right Won't somebody help me please 'Cause I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along I lay awake every night Tryin' to figure out how to make things right There's got to be a better way I know To shake this monkey off 'cause he's makin' me so Won't somebody help me please 'Cause I've been ooh, lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along I've been lonely so long Don't seem like happiness will come along Yes, I know what it feels like to be lonely To have your friends turn their backs on you To never know the real meaning Of peace of mind, oh Just can't seem to get ahead in life Ooh, nothin' I do ever turn out for the right Won't somebody help me please 'Cause I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along I've been down so long I've been down so long I've been down so long I've been down so long I get lonely, I get lonely I get lonely, I get lonely I get lonely, lonely
