Now I'm lying here with Linda on my mind And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind And Lord, it's killing me to see her crying She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind Yes, I know that I once loved her and I placed no one above her And I never thought, I'd ever set her free But it just wasn't in my plan, the way Linda squeezed my hand The first time that I held her close as she danced with me She said I've loved you for a long time but you're married to a friend of mine And I tried hard to never let it show But my love for you is stronger, I can't hide it any longer And so I thought I'd better let you know Now, I'm lying here with Linda on my mind And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind And Lord, it's killing me to see her crying She knows I'm lying here beside her with Linda on my mind
