Melinda was mine 'til the time that I found her
Holdin' Jim;
And lovin' him.
Then Sue came along, loved me strong, that's what I thought;
But me and Sue,
That died, too.

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

I've had it to here - being where love's a small world
A part time thing
A paper ring
I know it's been done havin' one girl who loves you
Right or wrong
Weak or strong

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

Don't know that I will but until I can find me
A girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am
A solitary man.
