Lyrics:
Had a little love
But I spread it thin
Falling in her arms at night 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
That's is all I need
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
Yeaah...
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
Nobody belongs to me
And his is not to say
There never comes a day
I 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 x3
That I want it
That's the way x3
That I want it
That's the way x3
That I want it
That's the way x3
That I want it
