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 is reelin'
As I go off the ceilin',
(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...)
Go 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, 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...
