Fallin' in her arms and out again

Tore up my heart, and shut it down

Nothin' to do

Nowhere to be

A simple little kind of free

 And that's all I need

I see my 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

And this is not to say

On all my younger times

I'm perfectly lonely
