Perfectly Lonely

So anyone who really truly knows me, knows that I'm a sucker for lyrics. Also if you know me well enough, you know I always have a "song of the week." Well, simply, I've found one for the "song of the decade" I quite enjoy this song. The lyrics are great, simple, positive, and true. They sum up the way I've felt for quite some time now - not hopeless, just perfectly lonely!

Perfectly Lonely

John Mayer

had a little love, but I spread it thin

falling in her arms and out again

made a bad name for my game 'round town

tore out my heart, shut it down

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

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 their ladies let em slip away

and when they ask me how I'm doin' 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

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'll 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
