I've Been Lonely For So Long (Live At Wattstax / 1972) - Frederick Knight

Lyrics by：Jerry Weaver/Posie Knight

Composed by：Jerry Weaver/Posie Knight

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 rain clouds over my head

Everybody's throwing rocks in my bed

Just can't seem to get ahead in life

Ooh nothin' I do ever turn out for the 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 got to 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 ooh lonely for so long

Don't seem like happiness will come along

I've been lonely so long

Don't seem like happiness will come along

Yes I know what it feels like to be lonely

To have your friends turn their backs on you

To never know the real meaning

Of peace of mind oh

Just can't seem to get ahead in life

Ooh nothin' I do ever turn out for the 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've been down so long

I've been down so long

I've been down so long

I've been down so long

I get lonely I get lonely

I get lonely I get lonely

I get lonely lonely
