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 rain clouds over my head
Everybody's throwing rocks in my bed
Just can't seem to get ahead in life
Woo, nothing I do ever turn 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
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
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
Yeah yeah yeah

I lay awake 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
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 so 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've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along

So lonely, woo-hoo

So lonely

So lonely, yeah yeah
