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 world
Part-time thing
Paper ring

I know it's been done
Having' 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
