Letra Solitary Man

A música Solitary Man foi o primeiro grande sucesso de Neil Diamond, lançado originalmente em 1966. A letra reflete o sentimento de determinação do cantor em se manter solteiro até encontrar o verdadeiro amor, após passar por desilusões amorosas.

 Melinda was mine 'til the time that I found her
Holdin' Jim
Lovin' him
Then Sue came along, loved me strong, that's what I thought
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 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
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
Solitary man
