Ian McLagan - Perfectly Lonely lyrics

[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 [Verse 3] 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
