Melinda was mine till 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 guy 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, he and her, loves a small world
A part-time thing, a 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
A 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
