Lyrics:
There was a man, a lonely manWho lost his love through his indifferenceA heart that cared, that went unsharedUntil it died within his silenceAnd solitaire's the only game in townAnd every road that takes him takes him downAnd by himself it's easy to pretendHe'll never love againAnd keeping to himself he plays the gameWithout her love it always ends the sameWhile life goes on around him everywhereHe's playing solitaireA little hope goes up in smokeJust how it goes, goes without sayingThere was a man, a lonely manWho would command the hand he's playingAnd solitaire's the only game in townAnd every road that takes him takes him downAnd by himself it's easy to pretendHe'll never love againAnd keeping to himself he plays the gameWithout her love it always ends the sameWhile life goes on around him everywhereHe's playing solitaireAnd solitaire's the only game in townAnd every road that takes him takes him downWhile life goes on around him everywhereHe's playing solitaire
