THE GRASS ROOTS- "BELLA LINDA" (W/ LYRICS)

PEAKED AT # 28 IN 1969. LYRICS: Bella Linda, try and understand
Bella Linda, Im doin all I can
Bella Linda, Im only what I am

Its so hard for me to say
The things I really feel
If I could Id chase away
The pain your eyes reveal
The pain your eyes reveal
From foolish things Ive done
The times that I let you down
And Ill never change, believe me I try
If you go away, you know that Ill die
Oh I love you, please dont say goodbye

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

Weve had bad times
Through the years
And though Ive 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 dont come true
Cause Ill never change, believe me I try
If you go away, you know that Ill die
Oh I need you, please dont say goodbye

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

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

Bella Linda

The Grass Roots, I always liked these guys, just too cool dudes who had good mgm't and a record label that backed them to the hilt! Just a very successful A.M. radio hitmaking band, regardless of personnel, and the hits just came on coming! rwells47 thanks for the upload and Rob Grill and whoever the other Grass Roots are, by all means Keep On Rockin'!

Thanks for this wonderful posting of the most overlooked song the Grass Roots ever recorded. My wife and I saw them in 1987 at an oldies show and he was great. I was a dj on the weekends while going to college at Michigan State and played this song quite often. At least 2-3 times a night somebody would call and asked who sang it.

God how this song hurts'' back to the bush... how music can change things..and rip your heart out

[JoshuaMallalieu]

Great chorus. Just wonderful. I love old music compared to today's music.

[JoshuaMallalieu]

Thank goodness for Youtube. This is the only place I know of that I could find this song other than a radio station.

Bella Linda reminds me of a girl I grew up with named Belinda. She was voted most beautiful and boy, was she. And she was sweet and smart, too. Her dad made a lot of money in the South Texas oilfield and Belinda always wore the nicest clothes. On a serioud note: RIP Rob Grill of the Grassroots who died last week. I loved this band so much as a teen growing up in South Texas. Yes, we had rock music in South Texas, not just country music.
