I still remember how much I used to need you 
Tried so hard to please you but you didn't need me 
You knew I loved you knew I always would be there 
You just did what you wanted you didn't care

All the cards were held by you 
There was nothin' I could do
All those nights I sat alone starin' at the telephone 
Wonderin' were you [bad word]  home
Solitaire, it got so lonely 
Solitaire, no one to hold me 
Where were you when I played solitaire? 

It took some time but I stopped thinkin' about you
Started livin' without you now look who's back here 
You've had a change of heart, well, mine just couldn't wait, no no 
You found out you loved me just a little too late

Once the cards were held by you 
Now there's nothin' you can do

All those nights you sit alone starin' at the telephone 
Wonderin' if I'm [bad word]  home 

Solitaire, see what it's like now
Solitaire, to cry all night now 
Solitaire, see how it feels to play
Solitaire, it gets so lonely 
Solitaire, you wanna hold me 
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire, solitaire, solitaire 

Solitaire, see what it's like now 
Solitaire, to cry all night now 
Solitaire, see how it feels to play
Solitaire, it gets so lonely 
Solitaire, you wanna hold me
Don't wait up, 'cos babe, I won't be there
Solitaire
