Belinda was mine 'til the time
That I found her holdin'
Jim and lovin' him.
Then Sue came along,
Loved me strong,
That's what I thought,
But 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,
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
Havin' 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,
A solitary man.

    General Comment:HIM does an amazing job of covering songs. And this song furthers my belief of that. I think they did right by Neil.

    General Comment:This is my theme song among other HIM songs just because women suck for cheating (no offence just MY experience. not saying guys are any better). But of my 3 major relationships they played games behind me....and i am better off a solitary man

    General Comment:that part is the best "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
    Solitary man"

    General Comment:I love this song, it makes me want to cry for him because of "I've had it to here - being where love's a small world
    A part time thing
    A paper ring
    I know it's been done havin' one girl who loves you
    Right or wrong
    Weak or strong"
    and the way he sings it, its just wow.

    General Comment:I like HIM's version of this song.
    This song is basically about a man being alone, solitary until the right one comes along.

    "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
    Solitary man
    Solitary man
    Solitary man"

    General Comment:oh yeah, wtf does "right or wrong" / "weak or strong" refer to? I might be a dumbass, but to me it's just nonsense that rimes.
