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.


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.


I should act gay,
Laugh it off and say farewell,
Say it just didn't wear well,
But I'm not that way.


I'm in hope you'll think it over,
And perhaps be satisfied
With a simple sort of person
On the sentimental side.
