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...
