I find I'm in a game
I might as well play fair
A game they rightly name
Solitaire
It does no good to cheat
When I am well aware
It's myself I defeat
Solitaire
But even when I've won
With just myself to dare
It isn't that much fun
Solitaire
I realize that I'm
Caught in a contest where
I simply waste my time
Solitaire

They're either red or black
The cards at which I stare
The king, the queen, the jack
Solitaire
I follow all the suits
And numbers that they bare
An ace accepts a duce
Solitaire
Here skill depends on luck
That often goes nowhere
I play until I'm stuck
Solitaire
How often I have felt
I didn't have a prayer
With cards that I was dealt
Solitaire

Since points are only made
By players who are there
My life is being played
Solitaire
The best games I have known
Held joys that I could share
But now I play alone
Solitaire
I make a clever move
But little do I care
What do I have to prove
Solitaire?
The winner may be me
Yet all I can declare
Is hollow victory
Solitaire
