I've Been Lonely For So Long lyrics

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 These ain't clouds rain over my head Everybody's throwing rocks in my bed Just can't seem to get ahead in life 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 it'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 Yes I know what it feels like to be lonely To have your friends turn their backs on you Yes I've been lonely Never know the real meaning of peace and harmony, 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 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.
