Acting like happiness will come along
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness
Seems like rain clouds over my head
Everybody's throwing rocks in my bed
Just can't seem to get ahead in life
Nothing I do ever turned out right
Cause I've been lonely so long
Don't seem like happiness
Don't seem like happiness will come along
I'm trying to figure out how
Just can't seem to get ahead, I know
Got to shake this monkey off
Cause I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness
Cause I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness
Sometimes you're still left
Saying, oh, the lonely people
Do they all come from you?
I try to figure out how to make things right
Just can't seem to get out, and I know
I've to shake this monkey off
because he makes me need him
So, will somebody help me please?
Cause I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Don't seem like happiness
Cause I've been lonely so long
Don't seem like happiness,
Don't feel like happiness,
Don't seem like happiness,
Don't live too long until
