Intro

 

Verse 1

Belinda 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 
Me and Sue, 
But that died too.  

Chorus

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 
Solitary man

Verse 2

I've had it to here - being where love's a small word 
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  

Chorus

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 
Solitary man

Instrumental

Chorus

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