"Solitaire" lyrics - NEIL SEDAKA

There was a man, a lonely man,
Who lost his love through his indifference.
A heart that kept, that went unchecked,
Until it died within his silence.

And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire

And keeping to himself begins to deal
And still the King of Hearts is well concealed
Another losing game comes to an end
And deals him out again

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 he's playing.

And Solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing Solitaire
