Tired of Being Alone
Longing for Love: Al Jarreau's Soulful Quest in 'Tired of Being Alone'
Lyrics
I'm so tired of being alone
I feel exhausted and weary from being alone.
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Emphasizing the fatigue and longing for companionship.
Won't you help me girl
Requesting assistance or companionship from a girl.
Just as soon as you can
Asking for prompt help or attention.
People say that I've found a way
Others suggest I've discovered a method to make you profess love.
To make you say that you love me
Expressing a desire for the girl to admit her love.
Hey baby, you didn't go for that
Referring to the girl's resistance to admitting love.
It's a natural fact
Stating a known fact about the desire to reconcile.
That I wanna come back
Expressing a wish to return to the relationship.
Show me where it's at, baby
Asking the girl to show where the love is.
I'm so tired of being alone
Reiteration of weariness from being alone.
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Echoing the sentiment of fatigue and solitude.
Won't you help me girl
Repeating the request for the girl's help.
Soon as you can
Emphasizing the urgency of receiving assistance.
I guess you know that I, uh, I love you so
Acknowledging love despite the apparent rejection.
Even though you don't want me no more
Highlighting the girl's lack of interest.
Hey hey hey hey, I'm cryin' tears
Expressing emotional pain and tears over the years.
All through the years
Continuing to convey sadness and emotional distress.
I'll tell ya like it is
Being straightforward about wanting to be loved.
Honey, love me if you will
Asking the girl to love despite the circumstances.
Yeah baby
Reaffirming the weariness of being alone.
Tired of being alone here by myself, now
Expressing fatigue while being alone.
I tell ya, I'm tired baby
Reiterating tiredness and longing for companionship.
I'm tired of being all wrapped up late at night
Expressing weariness late at night and a desire for the girl.
In my dreams, nobody but you, baby
Dreaming of the girl as the only one in the dreams.
Sometimes I wonder
Expressing uncertainty about the sincerity of the girl's love.
If you love me like you say you do
Questioning the depth of the girl's love.
You see baby, I been thinkin' about it, yeah
Reflecting on thoughts about getting close to the girl.
I been, I been wantin' to get next to you baby
Expressing a strong desire to be close to the girl.
Ya see, sometimes I hold my arms, I say mmmm hmmm hmmm
Describing a physical gesture expressing longing.
Yeah baby
Reaffirming weariness and longing for the girl.
Meeting you has proven to be
Meeting the girl is the greatest dream come true.
To be my greatest dream, yeah
Expressing fulfillment in meeting the girl.
Tired, baby
Reiterating tiredness and longing for companionship.
Yeah, you don't know what I'm talkin' about
Acknowledging the girl's lack of understanding.
Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you baby
Late-night thoughts and wonderings about the girl.
Oh baby, baby
Expressing emotional distress and longing for the girl.
I'm so tired of being alone
Repetition of weariness from being alone.
I'm so tired of being alone
-I'm so tired of being alone
