Lyrics

Don't Listen to Linda

[Verse 1]

Don't listen to Linda

She said all those things before

She's just a pretender

And though you couldn't love her more

She'll lead you on, and then one day

She'll say you'll have to part

Don't listen to Linda

She'll only break your heart

[Verse 2]

Don't listen to Linda

If you want some good advice

Just try to remember

She did it once, she'll do it twice

There's more to her little games

Than your eyes can see

Don't listen to Linda

Or you'll end up like me

[Bridge]

You'll never understand her

All the presents you could hand her

Could never be enough, oh no

So, don't underestimate her

'Cause sooner or later

The going's gonna start to get rough

[Verse 3]

Don't listen to Linda

Don't believe the things you hear

You'll hurt a contender

For the loser of the year

I've said everything I can

To try and make you see

Don't listen to Linda

Or you'll end up like me
