There was a man, a lonely man

Who lost his love, thru his indifference

A heart that cared that went unshared

Until it died within his silence



And solitaire is the only game in town

And every road that takes him, takes him down

While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing solitaire



And keeping to himself, begins to deal

And still the king of hearts is well concealed

Another losing games comes to an end

And deals them out again



A little hope goes up in smoke

Just how it goes, goes without saying

There was a man, a lonely man

Who would command the hand he's playing



And solitaire is the only game in town

And every road that takes him, takes him down

While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing solitaire



And keeping to himself, begins to deal

And still the king of hearts is well concealed

Another losing games comes to an end

And deals them out again



And solitaire is the only game in town

And every road that takes him, takes him down

While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing solitaire
