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...
