Night after night after night after night
I keep trying my luck like a roll of the dice.
Yeah I try and I try and I try and I try
I try to tell myself it' ll be alright

But it' s hard to keep believing
When you' re seeing the view that I keep seeing
And it' s hard to play again
When the bottle you drink ain' t even your friend

In this game we call love
I' m just looking for my share
But ya know it' s hard to win
Cuz the rules they aren' t fair
I' ve been looking for my princess
But I can' t find her anywhere
So the only game that I am playing now
is solitaire

At the bar every night every night every night
There' s a different girl, who' s catching my eye
She could be mine could be mine could be mine
If I' m willing to put my heart on the line

And while it might seem like a good time
I' m sick of trying my luck with different girls every night
And everytime that I get one
We have our fun, and I' m alone again when we' re done.

In the game of love, I may not seem to care
But look deep in these eyes and you' ll see what' s really there
A broken-heart romantic who' s only half a pair
With a heart that' s afraid to love again; so I' m stuck playing solitaire

Day after day after day after day
I convince myself that I' ll find a way
I pray and I pray and I pray and I pray
That I' ll finally win at this old game
