"I've a few years that I still want to race in Formula One," the 2009 world champion said at the Australian Grand Prix where he was surprisingly quickest in free practice on Friday after a troublesome pre-season.
"I'm sure it will come to a point with me where I'll think 'Right, I don't want to do any more, I want to do something else.' That point isn't yet, and I can't even imagine it happening yet.
"I'll be here for a couple more years," added the 31-year-old Briton, who joined the Mercedes-powered team on a multi-year deal at the end of 2009 after winning the world championship with Brawn GP.
"I can't imagine going somewhere else in Formula One after McLaren. I'm really happy here.
"When I was younger, at the start of my years in Formula One, I never thought I'd drive for McLaren."
Button, who has won in Australia for the past two years in a row, said he particularly enjoyed the team spirit at McLaren even in tough times.
"When something goes wrong there is no finger-pointing. You talk about it," he said.
"For instance, (technical director) Paddy (Lowe) will come up to me, and say 'I'm so sorry, this isn't what we want, and what we want you to see either. We're going to get back on track.'
