There was a man, a lonely man
  Who lost his love, thru his indifference
  A heart that cared that went unshared
  Until it died within his silence
    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
    And keeping to himself, begins to deal
  And still the king of hearts is well concealed
  Another losing games comes to an end
  And deals them out again
    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
    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
    And keeping to himself, begins to deal
  And still the king of hearts is well concealed
  Another losing games comes to an end
  And deals them out again
    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
