I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along Well 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 Nothing I do seems to turn out right Somebody help me now I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along Well I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along I lay awake most every night
Trying to figure out how to make things right There's got to be a better way I know To shake this monkey off cos it's making me so Won't somebody help me please I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along Well 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 Well I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along
