Our love was like a game of cards
And you held the deck.
The night that you walked out on me,
I found some self respect.

Now if you come back to be my king,
I won't be your queen.
Joker was the card you played
With such sincerity.

Chorus: No more full house.
No more pair.
Now that you've gone away,
I'm playin'...solitaire.

Now I know those card were marked
For cheatin' was your way.
I tried so hard to win your love,
But all you did was play.

The next time I am in this game
Deal me a better hand.
Winner gets the Queen of Hearts
and a diamond wedding band.

Chorus: No more full house.
No more pair.
Now that you've gone away,
I'm playin' solitaire, yeah!

No more full house.
We're no longer a pair.
Now that you've gone away,
I'm playin' solitaire.
I'm playin' solitaire.
I'm playin'...solitaire.   top
