The Grass Roots
 (Mogol/Battisti/Barri/Gross)

 Bella Linda, try and understand
 Bella Linda, I'm doin' all I can
 Bella Linda, I'm only what I am

 It's so hard for me to say
 The things I really feel
 If I could I'd chase away
 The pain your eyes reveal
 The pain your eyes reveal
 From foolish things I've done
 The times that I let you down
 And I'll never change, believe me I try
 If you go away, you know that I'll die
 Oh I love you, please don't say goodbye

 Bella Linda, try and understand
 Bella Linda, I'm doin' all I can
 Bella Linda, I'm only what I am

 We've had bad times
 Through the years
 And though I've made you cry
 Think of me through tender tears
 And try to close your eyes
 And try to close your eyes
 To thoughtless things I do
 The dreams that don't come true
 'Cause I'll never change, believe me I try
 If you go away, you know that I'll die
 Oh I need you, please don't say goodbye

 Bella Linda, try and understand
 Bella Linda, I'm doin' all I can
 Bella Linda, I'm only what I am

 Bella Linda, try and understand
 Bella Linda, I'm doin' all I can
 Bella Linda, I'm only what I am

 Bella Linda
