[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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 ever comin' home?
[Chorus]
Solitaire, it got so lonely
Solitaire, no one to hold me
Where were you when I played solitaire?
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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 ever comin' home
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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 ever comin' home?
[Chorus]
Solitaire, it got so lonely
Solitaire, no one to hold me
Where were you when I played solitaire?
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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 ever comin' home
