There was a man   A lonely man   Who lost his love   Through his indifference      A heart that cared   That went unshared   Until it died   In his silence      And solitaire's the only game in town   And every road that takes him takes him down   And by himself it’s easy to pretend   He’ll never love again   And keeping to himself he plays the game   Without her love it always ends the same   While life goes on around him everywhere   He’s playing solitaire      Another day   A lonely day   So much to say   Goes unspoken      And through the night   His sleepless night   His eyes are closed   His heart is broken      And solitaire's the only game in town   And every road that takes him takes him down   And by himself it’s easy to pretend   She's coming back again   And keeping to himself he plays the game   Without her love it always ends the same   While life goes on around him everywhere   He’s playing solitaire      A little hope   Goes up in smoke   Just how it goes   Goes without saying      Solitaire      And by himself it’s easy to pretend   He’ll never love again   Oh, and keeping to himself he plays the game   Without her love it always end the same   While life goes on around him everywhere   He’s playing solitaire   Solitaire   Solitaire
