you play your hand
with an ace up your sleeve
you refuse to play fair
then word got out
what you were about
now when you step to the table
you can't find a chair
the only game you play is solitaire

you preach from your tableau
you go fish for amens
your philosophy most don't share
there's two fools on this earth
they just put one in the dirt
your congregation has been severely paired
the only game you play is solitaire

a bridge that gets burned
can never-never be repaired

you point your finger
now way it could be you
you pretend you don't care
still you are alone
it hurts when you go home
when you look in the mirror
the truth casts a stare
and the only game you play is solitaire
