Melinda was mine
'Til the time
That I found her
Holdin' Jim
And lovin' 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
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
Havin' 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
Solitary man
Solitary man
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
Solitary man
Solitary man
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
Solitary man
Solitary man
Solitary man
Solitary man
Solitary
Man
