I love this song and album. I lived Magnetic Island off Townsville in North Queensland in 2016 post breakup. Still single and happy cruising life solo, secure, free and able to enjoy what is left of my freedom. John is a legend. Love his music Thankyou 🤛🤛🤛🙏🙏🙏
Had a little love, but I spread it thin Falling in her arms and out again Made a bad name for my game around town Tore up 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 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 Nobody belongs to me 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 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 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 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 Nobody belongs to me (It's the way, it's the way, it's the way that I want it)
Love this version with Keith Urban FABULOUS!!! His face goes with the title & that makes me sad, but then again you can be ALONE without being LONELY, amen🎆😉🎆
"And as i look behind to all my younger times I'll have to thank the wrongs that led me to a love so stong!" Beautiful! And so smart in it's simplicity.
"That's the way, that's the way that's the way that I want it" For real! 🎸🎶🎤🎶 Your music speaks to me ...with you speaking to us how could anyone be lonely ♥
i could never relate to any of the Mayer songs in my younger days!! Now i feel most of my thoughts are his songs..This song especially when he says that he is lonely and gives a ray of hope in the end about finding a love strong.. King of contradiction.. #Mayermaniac
If you find this one makes you grin, try the live version with Australian Keith Urban sharing the vocals with JM live at crossroads. It has twice as much emotion as this. Enjoy!
Isn't that the worst to put your trust & feelings out there & find out the dude is worthless & disrespectful. That's why I question so many people that think they need someone "to complete me" I call B.S.- you are stronger than you think & personal space & freedom is a BLESSING☺
I don't usually like songs the first time i hear them, even the ones I get crazy for later. But this song struck me. As soon as i heard it I had to get the whole album. LOVE John Mayer. Diggin' the new album. PS Hope ppl realize this is a positive song, not a negative one. I also believe in this new era of self-discovery many are realizing that being along can be a good thing. If you know what you're doing. ;)
Great song! especially for a recently single guy like my self.....his other song "free falling" is almost every emotion am feeling now (but can' show cz am a guy!) His music is a bit difficult to explain, i'lldefine it as soothing!! In my opinion, hes is one of the most underrated artist in pop....but with a very strong and loyal fan base! including myself keep making great Music John Mayer #1 Fan!!
"and this is not to say, there never come a day when i'll take my chances and start and when i look behind on my younger times, i'll thank the wrongs that let me to a love so strong" best part of the song:D
Por um tempo e por um descuido meu, essa música deixou de fazer sentido, dolorido engano, essa música me resume, o amor dói e nada melhor que seguir a vida sozinha
you will think differntly about that when you meet someone you are willing to give up your freedom for. don't look for it, you will know it when the moment is there.
He asks this question, because english is a universal language, so no matter where you come from, you can always understand something out of it, if you did your homework of course! And a comment in a different language, will only be understood by the native speaker, and a far more littler group non-native speakers, so it is a good question indeed and i would say luck or because it is a popular song in their country ;)
When u are older, you're wiser then you relate to a brilliant songwriter John Mayer.
oh! if we only knew then, what we know now! lol
Amen to that!
James Earnest yes, your right !
age has nothing to do with appreciation James
The interesting thing is that since his first album his lyrics were pretty mature and insightful even though he had no dating-relationship experience.
I once saw him in concert, and right before he went into playing this gem he said "This is a song about a feeling that lasts about 4 minutes" lmao
That's when I know it's time to hit replay. 😄
@@cassandramanghum4526 nice
His songs are so soulful....in person, sort of vacant. Guess it's a mystery....
yea, he says that everytime. Sorry, I ruined it for u.
Once people realize that being lonely isn't nessarily a bad thing, you'll feel a lot better..thanks Mr. Mayor...

Nederlands of niet, dit nummer is gewoon amazing, heel de wereld weet dat
Had a little love, but I spread it thin
Falling in her arms and out again
Made a bad name for my game around town
Tore up 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
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
Nobody belongs to me
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
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
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 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
Nobody belongs to me
(It's the way, it's the way, it's the way that I want it)
DarkSoulpony Thank you for putting the lyrics on.
U are welcome
sjenk you men

Love this version with Keith Urban FABULOUS!!! His face goes with the title & that makes me sad, but then again you can be ALONE without being LONELY, amen🎆😉🎆
Just watched that version last night.. So good. They complimented each other well in that special
This song is forever stuck in my head
Mine too...and UP and UP, Coldplay...
"And as i look behind
to all my younger times
I'll have to thank the wrongs
that led me to a love so stong!"
Beautiful! And so smart in it's simplicity.
Thumbs down???
Listen again!!!
Brilliant!
"That's the way, that's the way
that's the way that I want it"
For real! 🎸🎶🎤🎶
Your music speaks to me ...with you speaking to us how could anyone be lonely ♥
i could never relate to any of the Mayer songs in my younger days!!
Now i feel most of my thoughts are his songs..This song especially when he says that he is lonely and gives a ray of hope in the end about finding a love strong..

+yashaswini p I felt perfectly lonely at one time. For 11 years. A record for me. But I found a good man. It happens.
Lori Hill Thank you for your kind words☺ im glad you found someone..this song gets me everytime😀
Love yourself
Perfect lonely
Awesome jam... especially cause I find myself in between crossroads....
Listening to this song just makes me grin like an idiot because it's so catchy, especially the hook
John Mayer is for real the best
It all gets even better when Batman says that.
lol
exactly

I love the bass line to this song.
+Tyler Gavitt Played by the legendary Pino Palladino :-)
Tyler Gavitt it makes the song
Tyler Gavitt Yes! The bass line is very Motown-esque. I love those James Jameson fills.
Absolutely agree. Fantastic bass line
Always enjoy John Mayer tunes
You can be single and happy
keep telling that to yourself and I reckon you'll be fine hehe...
Yeahh
John is phenominal! I saw him NYE, I'm seeing him again Feb. 20th and then again Mar. 27th. I can't get enough!
Just got back from his concert in Indy! He's so awesome and gave a bunch of great advice.
Love has always been the one part of life where I horribly fail. Thank you John Mayer for creating this song for people like me.
I'm perfectly lonely....finally!!! Got ta love John's songs.
John Mayer lyrics gets the best of me along with his guitar. His songs justify the feelings one get in particular age groups
never really felt the lyrics as much as i do at this point in my life..
this song reminds me that i’m perfectly fine alone and i don’t need anyone but myself 🥰
Ingenious. Greetings from Germany.
Really helps for when you just got cheated on. It feels like John is personally talking to me. Like I know him in real life
yeah
Bela canção

I've heard three songs from this album and I've come to the conclusion that
I need this album & my love for John Mayer's music grows
2016 yet still perfectly lonely
Perfectly lonely☺
Muan who muan
In 2018 too ;)
" 'cuz i don't belong to anyone, nobody belongs to me!" Ah! the freedom!! :)
I can be perfectly lonely when I can listen to great music artist like this!
damn i was single last time i listened to this back on 2010 and now im still single,
i guess life's hard , time just flies so fast
Cecile Unia, lol thinking the same thing
Ilisha keys
Alysha keys
I must say, it's ironic how my last 2 relationships have ended right when john mayer comes out with a new cd. They've helped me SO much.
i found this song like last week.. i LOVE when you find a song you didn't know about and you become obsessed.. like hidden treasure!
J'ai découvert récemment cette chanson et dorénavant elle fait partie de mon répertoire basse, elle me plait beaucoup !
fantastic guitarist , singer songwriter
Happy Birthday ! One of special songs love to play the flute and keep him company !
i love this song! it was so good live last night at his concert! i love him! :)
this is a really nice one. Has something of a country soul.
One of my absolute favourites!
Since my son was transferred to Alaska from Key West Florida last week this song explains how I feel.
Anyone else catch a psychedelic/grateful dead sound? Love love love everything about this song! John has such depth and truth.
I've never really listened to him before, but I love this song.
Freaking love this song
All of his songs describe exactly how I feel!
John, love you!!! This song is my moment
Defanantly! i love John Mayer he has such a good voice
Love this song, instantly a classic of his in my book

Love It!
