Tired of Being Alone

Al Green



I'm so tired of being alone

I'm so tired of on-my-own

Won't you help me girl

Just as soon as you can



People say that I've found a way

To make you say that you love me

Hey baby, you didn't go for that

It's a natural fact

That I wanna come back

Show me where it's at, baby



I'm so tired of being alone

I'm so tired of on-my-own

Won't you help me girl

Soon as you can



I guess you know that I, uh, I love you so

Even though you don't want me no more

Hey hey hey hey, I'm cryin' tears

All through the years

I'll tell ya like it is

Honey, love me if you will



Yeah baby

Tired of being alone here by myself, now

I tell ya, I'm tired baby

I'm tired of being all wrapped up late at night

In my dreams, nobody but you, baby

Sometimes I wonder

If you love me like you say you do

You see baby, I been thinkin' about it, yeah

I been, I been wantin' to get next to you baby

Ya see, sometimes I hold my arms, I say mmmm hmmm hmmm

Yeah baby

Meeting you has proven to me

To be my greatest dream, yeah



Tired, baby

Yeah, you don't know what I'm talkin' about

Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you baby

Oh baby, baby

I'm so tired of being alone

I'm so tired of being alone

I'm so tired of being alone

Tired Of Being Alone

Al Green's 'Tired Of Being Alone' stands as a quintessential example of his signature soulful delivery, blending gospel-inflected harmonies with a deep, resonant baritone. Recorded for the 'Collectors Edition' compilation, the track exemplifies the lush production and emotional depth characteristic of Green's work during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The song captures the universal sentiment of loneliness through a rich arrangement that features sweeping organ lines and intricate backing vocals, hallmarks of the Southern soul movement. As a staple of Green's discography, the recording showcases his ability to convey profound vulnerability and spiritual yearning, cementing his legacy as a master of the genre who bridged the gap between church and secular audiences.
