"Solitaire" lyrics - LAURA BRANIGAN

LAURA BRANIGAN
"Solitaire"

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, 'cos babe
I won't be there
Solitaire, solitaire, solitaire

[Instrumental Interlude]

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, 'cos babe
I won't be there
Solitaire
(Solitaire, solitaire)
