Lyrics -

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

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

Bein' where

Love's a small word

Part-time thing

Paper ring

I know it's been done

Havin' one

Girl who loves you

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 love 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

A Solitary man

Solitary man

Solitary man
