[Chorus]
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem that happiness will come along
Well I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem that happiness will come along
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
'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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem happiness will come along
Well I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem happiness will come along
[Pre-Chorus]
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
Won't somebody help me, please
[Chorus]
'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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
'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've been lonely for so long
Don't seem that happiness will come along
Well I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem that happiness will come along

Nothing I do seems to turn out right
