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 a 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 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? I'm perfectly lonely I'm perfectly lonely I'm perfectly lonely Yeah Cause I don't belong to anyone And 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 And 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 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
