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
