Tired Of Being Alone
Al Green · Collectors Edition [2007]
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.
