Solitaire Lyrics By Laura Branigan

    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 ever comin’ 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 ever comin’ home

    solitaire see what it’s like now
    solitaire to cry all night now
    solitaire see how it feels to bear
    solitaire it gets so lonely
    solitaire you wanna hold me
    don’t wait up ’cause 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 bear
    solitaire it gets so lonely
    solitaire you wanna hold me
    don’t wait up ’cause babe i won’t be there
    solitaire solitaire solitaire
