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 seems to be throwing rocks in my bed
Let's kind of get ahead in life, ooh, ooh
But things 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, ooh, ooh
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
Yes, I know what it feels like to be lonely
To have your friends turn their backs on you
Yes, I've been lonely
You never know the real meaning of peace and harmony, yeah
I lay awake every night
Trying to figure out how to make things right, ooh, ooh
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
