'Cause I've been lonely for so long
To shake this monkey because it's making me so
To shake this monkey because it's making me so
Tryin' to figure out how to make things right
Yes, I've been lonely
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Won't somebody help me please
I've been lonely for so long
Things ain't quite right over my head
'Cause I've been lonely for so long
Bad things I do ever turn out right
Just can't get ahead in life
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Don't seem like happiness will come along
I lay awake every night
There's got to be a better way I know
To have your friends turn their backs on you
Won't somebody help me please
Yes, I know what it like to be lonely
You never know the real meaning of peace and harmony, yeah
Try to figure out how to make things right
Everybody seems to be throwing rocks in my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
I've been lonely for so long
I lay awake every night
There's got to be a better way I know
Won't somebody help me please
Don't seem like happiness will come along
