Оригинален текст
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
Chorus:
And solitaires the only game in town
and every road that takes him takes him down
while love goes on around him everywhere
hes playing solitaire
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 hes paling
(repeat chorus)
And keeping to himself begins to deal
and still the king of hearts is well concealed
while love goes and on around him everywhere
hes playing solitaire
