Solitary Man

Belinda was mine
'Til 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
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
A solitary man
I've had it 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 love me
Right or wrong
Weak or strong
Don't know that I will
But until I 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
Don't know that I will
But until love can find me
And a girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man
A solitary man
Solitary man
