I've been lonely for so long Acting like happiness will come along I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along Seems like rain clouds over my head Everybody's phone with rocks in my bed Just can't seem to get ahead in life Nothing I do ever turn out right 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 I'm trying to figure out how to make things right Just can't seem to get ahead I know Got to shake this monkey off Cause he makes me so lonely Cause I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along Cause I've been lonely for so long Don't seem like happiness will come along Cause you know, friends and communities turn your back on you Sometimes you're still left wondering Saying all the lonely people, do they all come apart? I lay awake every night I'm trying to figure out how to make things right Just can't seem to get ahead I know I got to shake this monkey off Cause he makes me so lonely 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 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 Lonely, lonely so long Don't seem like happiness will come along Lonely, lonely so long Don't seem like happiness will come along
