| Since you’ve gone I spend each lonely night, |
| Dealing out the cards from left to right, |
| And the King of Hearts is there to remind me That I’m all alone playing solitaire. |
| Love was just another game for two, |
| I see now that’s all it meant to you, |
| And my heart got lost somewhere in the shuffle, |
| So I’m all alone playing solitaire |
| In each romance there’s an element of chance, |
| A gamble to win or to lose, |
| You play to win, then you find you’re playing in a game with no rules, |
| Just made for fools. |
| Now, the Joker has a laugh on me, |
| 'Cause I played my hand so carelessly, |
| And until you wanna share that old feeling, |
| I’ll be dealing time away with solitaire. |
| And until you want to share that old feeling, |
| I’ll be dealing time away, dealing time away with solitaire. |
