"Perfectly Lonely" lyrics - JOHN MAYER

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

[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

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

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
