Perfectly Lonely

Had a little love, but I spread it thin

Falling in her arms and out again

Made a bad name for my game around town

Tore up my heart, and shut it down

Nothing to do

Nowhere to be

A simple little kind of free

Nothing to do

No one but me

And that's all I need

I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)

'Cause I don't belong to anyone

Nobody belongs to me

I see friends around from time to time

When their ladies let them slip away

And when they ask me how I'm doing with mine

This is always what I say

Nothing to do

Nowhere to be

A simple little kind of free

Nothing to do

No one to be

Is it really hard to see

Why I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)

'Cause I don't belong to anyone

Nobody belongs to me

And this is not to say

There never comes a day

I'll take my chances and start again

And when I look behind

On all my younger times

I have to thank the wrongs that led me to a love so strong

I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)

'Cause I don't belong to anyone

Nobody belongs to me

(It's the way, it's the way, it's the way that I want it)
