 Belinda was mine  'til the time  that I found  her
 Holdin' Jim,  and loving 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
  (RIFF) (RIFF)
  I'll be what I am A solitary man 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  I can find  me
 The girl who’ll stay  and won't play  games behind  me
  (RIFF) (RIFF)
  I'll be what I am A solitary man Solitary man
 2x
 Don't know that I will  but until  I can find  me
 The girl who’ll stay  and won't play  games behind  me
  (RIFF) (RIFF)
  I'll be what I am A solitary man Solitary man
