Had a little love
But I spread it thin
Falling in her arms and out again
I made a bad name for my game ‘round 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
Cause I don’t belong to anyone
And nobody belongs to me
I see my friends around from time to time
When the ladies let us 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
Cause I don’t belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me
And this is not to say
There never comes a day
I’ll 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
Cause I don’t belong to anyone
And nobody belongs to me
It’s the way that I want it
It’s the way that I want it
It’s the way that I want it
