Had a little love
But I spread it thin
Falling in your arms
and out again
Tore out my heart
and shut it down
Nothing to do
Nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do
No one but me
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 husband's let them slip away
And when they ask me how I'm doing
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 this is not to say
There never comes a day
I take my chances and start again
And when I look behind
On all the other 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

Beautiful song but sad lyrics!
Oh, I don't think it's sad at all! To me, it's a song that says, "I've messed up, I've been hurt, but now it's back to just me and I remember how much I love being on my own!"
No one to take care of, no one to pretend to be, no one to worry about, just me.
I danced around in my (very clean) house last night--in my jammies--thinking of how great I felt and how nice it is, the majority of the time, to be on my own.
Perfectly lonely. Enjoying the time right now.
