I'm Getting Tired of Losing You

Conway Twitty · Linda on My Mind [1975]

(Conway Twitty)



Well, here you are again just like

So many times before down on your knees

Your makin' promises just like you've made

And never kept before to me.



You're tellin' me you're sorry

For the things you say you didn't mean to do

But old friend you'd better make it good

Because I'm gettin' tired of losing you.



I've lost you to the booze and bars

And uptown girls a dozen times before

All these years I've tried to fake it

But I ain't a gonna take it anymore.



So I hoped that you've rehearsed your lines

You're gonna say and pray that they'll come true

'Cause there won't be no next time, buddy

I'm gettin' tired of losing you.



But darling, please, please don't leave me

I know I've done you wrong before

Just like you said I would.

Oh darling, please, please believe me

If you'll take me back just one more time

I promise I'll be good.



Well, here you are again just like

So many times before down on your knees

Your makin' promises just like you've made

And never kept before to me.



You're tellin' me you're sorry

For the things you say you didn't mean to do

But old friend you'd better make it good

Because I'm gettin' tired of losing you...
