[Verse 1] There was a man, a lonely man Who lost his love through his indifference A heart that cared that went unshared Until it died within his silence [Pre-Chorus] And Solitaire is the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down While life goes on around him everywhere He's playing Solitaire [Chorus] And keeping to himself begins to deal And still the King of Hearts is well concealed Another losing game comes to an end And deals them out again [Verse 2] A little hope goes up in smoke Just how it goes, goes without saying There was a man, a lonely man Who would command the hand he's playing [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Verse 3] And Solitaire is the only game in town And every road that takes him, takes him down Life goes on around him everywhere He's playing Solitaire
