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
