Solitaire (Live) - Neil Sedaka

There was a man, a lonely man

Who lost his love, thru his indifference

A heart that cared that went unshared

Until it died within his silence

And solitaire is the only game in town

And every road that takes him, 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 the love it always ends the same

While life goes on around him everywhere

He's 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 he's playing

And solitaire is the only game in town

And every road that takes him, 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 a love it always ends the same

While life goes on around him everywhere

He's playing solitaire

And solitaire is 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
