(Hey, hey, hey, hey-ay, hey, hey, hey, hey-ay)
Nights didn t seem so long no more,
ain t one man 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 forest fire, 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 running wild
My love for her increases,
as I go all to pieces
Hey, hey, dum de dodie-dodie,
Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie,
Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie-do,
dum-diddly, dum-diddly, dum-dum
So, straight 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 forest fire, down, down,
Oh, oh, oh, dum-didly, dum-didly,
dum-dum-dum dum.
Hey, hey, dum de dodie-dodie,
Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie,
Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie-do,
dum-diddly, dum-diddly, dum-dum
Hey, hey, dum de dodie-dodie,
Hip, hip, dum de dodie-dodie . . .
