CI've been lGonely for so loCng
CDon't seem like hGappiness will come alCong
CI've been lGonely for so lCong
CDon't seem like hGappiness will come alCong
[Verse 1]
DThese ain't rain clouds over my head
CEverybody's throwing rocks in my bed
DJust can't seem to get ahead in life
Ooh, nCothin' I do ever turns rAmight
CWon't somebody help me please

DThere's got to be a better way I know
CTo shake this monkey off 'cause he's maAmkin' me so
CWon't somebody help me please
