Perfectly Lonely

John Mayer - 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 up 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 thats all I need

Im perfectly lonely
Im perfectly lonely
Im perfectly lonely (Yeah)
Cause I dont belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me

I see friends around from time to time
When their ladies let them slip away
And when they ask me how Im 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 Im perfectly lonely
Im perfectly lonely
Im perfectly lonely (Yeah)
Cause I dont belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me

And this is not to say
There never comes a day
Ill 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

Im perfectly lonely
Im perfectly lonely
Im perfectly lonely (Yeah)
Cause I dont belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me

(Its the way, its the way, its the way that I want it)
