Lyrics:

Well, 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

'Cause 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 'cause he’s making me so
Somebody help me, please

'Cause I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Yes, lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Yeah, yeah


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 'cause it's making me so
Somebody help me now

'Cause I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Well, I've lonely (Yeah) for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along

Woah, woah now
Been lonely for so long
