Solitary Man
H.I.M. · And Love Said No The Greatest Hits 1997-2004 [2004]
Melinda was mine 'til the time
That I found her
Holding Jim and loving him
Then Sue came along, loved me strong
That's what I thought
Well 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
Solitary man
I've had it to here being where love's a small word
Part-time thing
Paper ring
I know it's been done
Having 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
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
Solitary man
Solitary man....
That I found her
Holding Jim and loving him
Then Sue came along, loved me strong
That's what I thought
Well 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
Solitary man
I've had it to here being where love's a small word
Part-time thing
Paper ring
I know it's been done
Having 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
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
Solitary man
Solitary man....
