I'm Getting Tired of Losing You
Conway Twitty · Linda on My Mind [1975]
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...
