Lyrics

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 Ooh, nothin' I do ever turn out for the 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 Just can't seem to get ahead, I know Got to shake this monkey off 'cause he's makin' me so (monkey, monkey) Won't somebody help me please 'Cause I've been ooh, lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along 'Cause I've been lonely so long Don't seem like happiness will come along 'Cause you know, I know, friends and communities They turn their back on you Sometimes you still left wondering Saying all the lonely people Do they all come home? I lay awake every night Turn for different outcome To make things right I just can't see, I cannot Can I know I got to shake this monkey off Because it makes me (monkey monkey) 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 '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 'Cause I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along
