All is Loneliness Lyrics

All is loneliness
Loneliness here for me
Loneliness here for me

All is loneliness
Loneliness here for me
Loneliness here for me
Loneliness here for me
Loneliness here for me

Loneliness come on bother me
Want me 'round my door
I get loneliness
I get loneliness
I get loneliness
I get loneliness
Loneliness, heck I said loneliness
Lord, loneliness, yeah, I said loneliness

I said loneliness come on by my bed
Gonna worry me 'round on my door-mat
I said loneliness come and found me,
I said you found me whole
Yeah and now loneliness
Lordy Lordy loneliness
Lordy Lordy loneliness
Lordy Lordy loneliness
Yeah, loneliness

Oh loneliness
Oh loneliness
Oh loneliness
Oh loneliness
Oh loneliness
Oh loneliness
Oh loneliness

Ah loneliness
Ah loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness

Every day when I walk home
I see loneliness
When I waited for my baby
You know I open my front door,
I said Mr. Loneliness is waiting for me at home
Lordy, Lord at home, Lord at home, Lo-o-o-rd at home

You know, I get home every day, Lord,
There ain't nobody waiting there, man
And I ain't got no girlfriends, and I ain't got no boyfriends, man
I ain't got no any kind of friends, man, I ain't got no...
My TV set doesn't work, my radio doesn't work, man
I come home there's nothing
Nothing, man, there's no animals moving,
There's nothing, man
Walk in that door seems like I'm sitting there every day, man

Lord, loneliness
Lord, loneliness
Ah, ah, loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
Loneliness
Lord

All right!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The guys of Big Brother & the Holding Co. got this song off of a blind poet named Moon Dog on the streets of New York City. I like Janis's added commentary about coming home to nothing everyday. Janis adapted this song really well and it kind of fits the theme of lonlieness that she often sings of.
