Solitary Man -- Neil Diamond

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 A girl who'll stay
And won't play games behind me I'll be what I am   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 loves you
Right or wrong Weak or strong

(**)  


Diamond himself would tell interviewers in the 2000s, "After four years of Freudian analysis I realised I had written 'Solitary Man' about myself.""Solitary Man's" dynamic melody, matched with the melancholic universality of its lyrics, would make the song an attractive target for later interpretations.         (songfacts)
