There was a man, a lonely man
who lost his love through his indifference
a heart that cared, that went unshared
until it died within his silence
And solitaire's the only game in town
and ev'ry road he takes, takes him down
while life goes on around him everywhere
he's playing solitaire
And keeping to himself begins to deal
but still the king of hearts is well concealed
another losing game comes to an end
and he deals them out again
A little hope goes up in smoke
just how it goes, goes whitout saying
there was a man, a lonely man
who would command the hand he's playing
And solitaire's the only game in town
and ev'ry road he takes, takes him down
and by himself it's easy to pretend
he'll never love again
And keeping to himself begins to deal
but still the king of hearts is well concealed
another losing game comes to an end
and he deals them out again
And solitaire's the only game in town
and ev'ry road he takes, takes him down
while life goes on around him everywhere
he's playing solitaire
