Perfectly Lonely

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)

Because I don't belong to anyone

Nobody belongs to me

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)

Because I don't belong to anyone

Nobody belongs to me

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly lonely

I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)

Cause I don't belong to anyone

Nobody belongs to me

That's the way, that's the way, that's the way that I want it

That's the way, that's the way, that's the way that I want it

That's the way, that's the way, that's the way that I want it

That's the way, that's the way, that's the way that I want it
