Melinda was mine
'til the time
that I found her
holdin' Jim
and lovin' him.
Then Sue came along,
loved me strong,
that's what I thought.
Me and Sue.
But that died too.
Don't know that I will,
but until I can find me
a girl who'll stay
and won't play games behind me,
I'll be what I am:
A solitary man.
Solitary man.
I've had it to here,
bein' where
love's a small word.
A part time thing.
A paper ring.
I know it's been done
havin' one
girl who love me.
Right or wrong.
Weak or strong.
Don't know that I will,
but until I can find me
the girl who'll stay
and won't play games behind me,
I'll be what I am:
A solitary man.
A solitary man.
Don't know that I will,
but until love can find me
and the girl who'll stay
and won't play games behind me,
I'll be what I am:
A solitary man.
A solitary man.
Solitary man.
