there was a man a lonely man 
who lost his love thru his indifference 
a heart that cared that went unshared 
until it died within his silence 
and solitaire is the only game in town 
and every road that takes 
him takes him down 
while life goes on around him everywhere 
he's playing solitaire 
but keeping to himself begins to deal 
and still the king of 
hearts is well concealed 
another losing game comes to an end 
and he deals them out again 
a little hope goes up in smoke 
just how it goes goes without saying 
there was a man a lonely man 
who would command the hand he's playing 
and solitaire is the only game in town 
and every road that takes 
him takes him down 
while life goes on around him everywhere 
he's playing solitaire 
but keeping to himself begins to deal 
and still the king of 
hearts is well concealed 
another losing game comes to an end 
and he deals them out again 
and keeping to himself begins to deal 
and still the king of 
hearts is well concealed 
another losing game comes to an end 
and he deals them out again
