Melinda was mine,
'till the time,
that I found her,
holding Jim, loving 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,
the 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,
being where love's a small word.
Part-time thing,
paper ring.
I know it's been done.
Having one girl who'll 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,
solitary man.

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.
