I’ve Been Lonely for So Long Lyrics by Mick Jagger

Wandering Spirit

1993

[Chorus]
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem that happiness will come along
Well I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem that happiness will come along
[Verse]
These ain't rain clouds over my head
Everybody's throwing rocks in my bed
Just can't seem to get ahead in life
Nothing I do seems to turn out right
Somebody help me now
[Chorus]
'Cause I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Well I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
[Pre-Chorus]
I lay awake most every night
Trying to figure out how to make things right
There's got to be a better way I know
To shake this monkey off cos it's making me so
Won't somebody help me, please
[Chorus]
I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem happiness will come along
Well I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem happiness will come along
[Pre-Chorus]
I lay awake most every night
Trying to figure out how to make things right
There's got to be a better way I know
To shake this monkey off 'cause it's making me so
Won't somebody help me, please
[Chorus]
'Cause I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Yes, lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I lay awake most every night
Trying to figure out how to make things right
There's got to be a better way I know
To shake this monkey off 'cause it's making me so
Somebody help me now
[Chorus]
'Cause I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
Well I've been lonely for so long
Don't seem like happiness will come along
