Melinda was mine 'til the time Melinda
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
Don't know that I will
but until life 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
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 loves me
right or wrong,weak or strong
Don't know that I will
but until life 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
