Verse 2:
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
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
Chorus:
Why I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely
I'm perfectly lonely (Yeah)
'Cause I don't belong to anyone
Nobody belongs to me
Bridge:
[Am] And this is not to say
[G] There never comes a day
[F] I'll take my chances and start [G]again[G#]
[Am] And when I look behind
[G] On all my younger times
[F] I have to thank the wrongs that[Fm] led me to a love so strong
