Melinda was mine
'Til the time
That I found her
Holding Jim
And lovin' him

Then you came along
Loved me strong
That's what I thought
Me and you
But that died too

I 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
A paper ring

I know it's been done
Havin' one girl to love you
Right or wrong
Weak or strong

I 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 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
Solitary man
A solitary man
A solitary man
