Melinda was mine
´Til 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
Bein´ where love´s a small word
Part-time thing, paper ring
I know it´s been done
Havin´ 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
(instrumental)
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
