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

[Chorus]
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
While love goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire

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 paling

[Chorus]

And keeping to himself begins to deal
And still the king of hearts is well concealed
While love goes and on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
