Neil Sedaka — Solitaire

[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 [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 [Post-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 he 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 [Chorus] And solitaire's 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 [Post-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 he deals them out again [Chorus] And solitaire's 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
