[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]
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 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
