[Verse 1]
If you wonder why I'm near you
Even though I've been denied
I'm inclined to be a little
On the sentimental side

[Verse 2]
I suppose I should forget you
If I had an ounce of pride
But I guess I can't help being
On the sentimental side

[Bridge]
I should act gay
Laugh it off and say, "Farewell"
Say, it just didn't wear well
But I'm not that way

[Verse 3]
I'm in hopes you'll think it over
And perhaps be satisfied
With a simple sort of person
On the sentimental side

[Bridge]
I should act gay
Laugh it off and say, "Farewell"
Say, it just didn't wear well
But I'm not that way
[Verse 3]
I'm in hopes you'll think it over
And perhaps be satisfied
With a simple sort of person
On the sentimental side
