I’ve Been Lonely for So Long

[Chorus]

Well, 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

[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 'cause he’s making me so

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, yeah

[Guitar solo]

[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 lonely (Yeah) for so long

Don't seem like happiness will come along

[Piano solo]

Woah, woah now

Been lonely for so long
