Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Belinda was mine
Till the time that I found her
Holdin' Jim
And lovin' him
Then Sue came along
Loved me strong, that's what I thought
Me and Sue
But that died, too
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
I've had it to here
Being where love's a small word
A part time thing
A paper ring
I know it's been done
Havin' one girl who'll loved me
Right or wrong
Weak or strong
[Verse 4]
Don't know that I will
But until love can find me
The girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
A solitary man
[Verse 5]
Don't know that I will
But until love can find me
And the girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
A solitary man
[Verse 6]
Solitary man
