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 out 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 my friends around from time to time

When their ladies let 'em 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'll 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-

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

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
