Tired of Being Alone
Yearning for Connection: Michael Bolton's Soulful Plea
Lyrics
I'm so tired of being alone
I feel exhausted from being by myself
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Feeling weary of solitude
Won't you help me, girl?
Asking for assistance from a girl
Just as soon as you can
Requesting prompt help
People say that I've found a way
People claim I've discovered a method
To make you say that you love me
To make you confess love
Hey, baby, you didn't go for that
Expressing that the girl didn't accept that approach
It's a natural fact
Stating it as a natural fact
That I wanna come back
Expressing the desire to return
Show me where it's at, baby
Asking to show where love is
I'm so tired of being alone
Reiterating the tiredness of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Repeating the fatigue of being on one's own
Won't you help me, girl?
Reiterating the plea for help
Soon as you can
Emphasizing the urgency for assistance
I guess you know that I, uh, I love you so
Expressing love despite the lack of reciprocation
Even though you don't want me no more
Acknowledging the rejection but still expressing love
Hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm cryin' tears
Conveying emotional pain and tears over the years
All through the years
Expressing enduring sorrow
I'll tell ya like it is
Telling the truth about feelings
Honey, love me if you will
Asking for love if possible
Yeah, baby
An affectionate term, possibly addressing the girl
Tired of being alone here by myself now
Expressing weariness of being alone
I tell ya, I'm tired, baby
Reiterating the tiredness and seeking companionship
I'm tired of being all wrapped up late at night
Feeling lonely and wrapped up in thoughts
In my dreams, nobody but you, baby
Dreaming exclusively about the girl
Sometimes I wonder
Contemplating if the girl's love is genuine
If you love me like you say you do
Expressing doubt about the sincerity of love
You see, baby, I been thinkin' about it, yeah
Thinking and reflecting on the relationship
I been, I been wantin' to get next to you, baby
Longing to be close to the girl
Ya see, sometimes I hold my arms
Describing holding arms, possibly a gesture of affection
I say mmm hmm hmm
Expressing affirmation or agreement
Yeah, baby
An affectionate term, possibly addressing the girl
Meeting you has proven to me
Meeting the girl is portrayed as the greatest dream
To be my greatest dream, yeah
Reiterating the fatigue and expressing it as a dream
Tired, baby
Expressing weariness again
Yeah, you don't know what I'm talkin' about
Asserting that the listener may not understand
Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you, baby
Late-night thoughts and wondering about the girl
Oh, baby, baby
Repetition of affectionate terms, possibly towards the girl
I'm so tired of being alone
Reiterating the exhaustion of being alone
I'm so tired of being alone
Repeating the weariness of solitude
I'm so tired of being alone
Reiterating the tiredness and desire for companionship
