I've Been Lonely For So Long

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

These ain't raindrops over my head

Everybody's throwin' rocks in my bed

Just can't seem to get ahead in life

Ain't nothin' I do ever turns out 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 gotta 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 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

Baby, you know

I've been so lonely

All I need is for you to be by my side

To hold me, squeeze me baby

Come closer baby

Don't go away please

Don't go away

I lay awake every night

Tryin' to figure out how to make things right

There's gotta 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 lonely for so long

Don't seem like happiness will come along

And I need somebody

An angel on the ground

And I need somebody to groove me yeah...
