Solitary Man
(As performed by Johnny Cash)

Belinda was mine till the time that I saw her
holding Jim, and loving him
Then Sue came along, loved me strong, that's what I thought
me and Sue, but 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, a solitary man

I've had it to here being where love's a small word
a part time thing, a paper ring
I know it's been done, having one girl to love me
right or wrong, weak or strong

Don't know that I will, but until I can find me
the girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am, a solitary man, a solitary man

Don't know that I will, but until love can find me
and the girl who'll stay and won't play games behind me
I'll be what I am, a solitary man, a solitary man
