Lyrics:

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.

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,

han your eyes can see,

Don't listen to Linda,

Or you'll end up like me.

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 goings gonna start to get rough.

Don't listen to Linda,

Don't believe the things you hear.

You'll end up, 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.

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 goings gonna start to get rough.

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.
