Tim Lake - Linda The Lover Lyrics

Linda The Lover
By Tim Lake
D G
Linda the lover lays under the covers and gently sips cold lemonade
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7 G D
And the sheets they caress all the parts undressed of her beautiful body
G A7sus4 A7
'Cause this is the bed that she made
D G
Linda the lover lays under the covers and waits for the man to come back
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7
And that withered old playboy just opens the door
G D G A7sus4 A7
Though he can't take no more he lies down for a roll in the sack

D G
Linda the lover drives a pretty new car that she got as a present or pay
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7 G D
And she drove for a while with a pretty new smile to all of the places
G A7sus4 A7
'Till her tires started wearing away
D G
Linda the lover could never tell her mother the age of the men that she sees
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7 G A7 D
'Cause she'd never understand why she couldn't get a man more her age with a college degree

Chorus:
G A7sus4 A7 D D/C D/B A7sus4
Linda the lover goes home every Sunday morning and leaves the funnies alone
G A7sus4 A7 D D/C D/B A7sus4
Linda the lover puts her dreams in the cupboard then she waters all the flowers she owns
G A7sus4 A7 D D/C D/B A7sus4
And if I only knew her, if I hadn't seen through her I'd a never put her into this song
G A7sus4 A7 D G
If money's the reason that we all keep on breezing then why can't I seem to pretend
G Em7/B A7sus4 G A7sus4 D
That once Linda the lover and me get enough everything will be fine in the end

D G
Linda the lover she works as a waitress in a classy little restaurant lounge
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7
And all the men come in with big shit eaten grins
G D G A7sus4 A7
And try to get Linda to scatter her favors around
D G
Linda the lover eats cocktail cherries in a most voluptuous way
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7
She puts one in her mouth and looks you in the eyes
G D G A7sus4 A7
And pulls out the stem then she fickley throws it away
D G
But Linda the lover is a beautiful young woman and I'd sure love to call her my own
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7
And it just goes to show ya' what you don't know can hurt ya'
G D G A7sus4 A7
When it comes to believing things that you don't really know
D G
'Cause I've searched for a while for a beautiful smile one that's worth hanging around
A7sus4 A7 G Em7/B A7sus4 D
And this really ain't a song about Linda it's just a song about what's coming down

Repeat Chorus
