BILLY JOE ROYAL- "SOLITARY MAN"

LYRICS: Melinda was mine
'Til the time
That I found her
Holding Jim
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
The 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
Bein' where
Love's a small word
Part-time thing
Paper ring

I know it's been done
Havin' one
Girl who'll 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
Solitary man

I hate how I find a song then I go to listening to Neil Diamond the rest of the night. He's written and performed so many good songs. This is good by BJR too! . Thx.

Apparantely he started his career at the age of 11 when he made his debut on his Uncle's radio station, and by 14 was appearing with artists like Ray Stevens in the Georgia Jambouree.. Pretty good ??

Ooh, a song that the similarly-named B.J. Thomas has also recorded. And written, of course, by Neil Diamond.
