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 alongThings ain't quite right over my head
Everybody seems to be throwing rocks in my bed
Just can't get ahead in life
Bad things I do ever turn out rightWon'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 alongI lay awake every night
Tryin' to figure out how to make things right
There's got to be a better way I know
To shake this monkey because it's making me soWon't somebody help me pleaseYes, I know what it 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, yeahI lay awake every night
Try to figure out how to make things right
There's got to be a better way I know
To shake this monkey because it's making me soWon'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
