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
