Melinda was mine
Til the time that I found her
Holding Jim, loving him

Then Sue came along
Loved me strong
That's what I thought
Me and Sue, but that died too

(CHORUS)

Don't know that I will
But until I can find me
The girl who'll stay and
Won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man, solitary man

I've had it to here
Bein where love's a small word
Part-time thing, paper ring

I know it's been done
Havin one girl who loves you
Right or wrong, weak or strong

(CHORUS) 2X

Mmm hmm, solitary man
Mmm hmm, solitary man
