Song Lyrics

(Hey, hey, hey, hey-ay, hey, hey, hey, hey-ay)
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
