Nights didn't seem so long no more
Pain wasn't there like it was before
Just when I thought I was really okay
I saw Linda yesterday
My heart went up, down
Like a merry-go-round and 'round
Like a falling star, down, down
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Looked like I'd found peace of mind
Looked like I was gonna make it this time
Just when I thought I was really okay
I saw Linda yesterday
Oh, she smiled that same old smile
My heart was runnin' wild
My love for her increases
As I go all to pieces
(Hey, hey, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie-do
Dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dumb-dum)
So drink to a lonely guy
Sit around and watch me cry
People ask what's wrong, I say
I saw Linda yesterday
My heart went up, down
Like a merry-go-round and 'round
Like a falling star, down, down
Oh, oh, oh, dumb-didly, dumb-didly, dumb-dumb-dum
Hey, hey, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie
Hip, hip, dumb de dodie-dodie-do
Dumb-diddly, dumb-diddly, dumb-dum
