Melinda was mine,
'til the time, that I found her
Holdin' Jim and lovin' him (HIM!)

Then Sue came along, 
Loved me strong, that's what I thought
But me and Sue, 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,
A solitary man,
A solitary man

I've had it to here,
Being where love's a small world
A part time thing,
A paper ring

I know it's been done, 
Having one girl, who loves you
Right or wrong,
Weak or strong

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,
A solitary man,
A solitary man
A solitary man!!

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,
A solitary man,
A solitary man
A solitary man

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,
A solitary man,
A solitary man

A solitary man
Solitary man
Solitary man
Solitary man, oh
Solitary... man
