Who is Linda? Whoever Linda is, she must be a lucky girl in the story of the song. The narrator is with someone else. He’s married to the woman he is living with, but his mind is with a woman named Linda. Linda might be his past lover who got away. It is very tragic to be with someone who is not in love with you the way you love them
Sometimes it’s better to think twice before marrying someone if you are still in love with someone else. It’s not a good thing to use other people to ease the pain of your past or people to save you. The woman in the song is aware that the narrator is in love with another woman. It’s so sad that the woman still stays with her man even if she knows that the narrator never loves her the way he loves Linda.

Lyrics
Now I’m lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord it’s killing me to see her crying
She knows I’m lying here beside her with Linda on my mind.
Yes I know that I once loved her
And I placed no one above her
And I never thought I’d ever set her free
But it just wasn’t in my plan
The way Linda squeezed my hand
The first time that I held her close as she danced with me.
She said I’ve loved you for a long time
But you’re married to a friend of mine
And I tried hard to never let it show
But my love for you is stronger
I can’t hide it any longer
And so I thought I’d better let you know.
Now I’m lying here with Linda on my mind
And next to me, my soon to be, the one I left behind
And Lord it’s killing me to see her crying
She knows I’m lying here beside her with Linda on my mind
