There was a man
   A lonely man
   Who would command
   The hand he's playing
  
   And Solitaire's the only game in town
   And every road that takes her, takes him down
   And by himself, it's easy to pretend
   He'll never love again
  
   And keeping to himself, he plays the game
   Without her love, it always ends the same
   While life goes on around him everwhere
   He's playing Solitaire
