On The Sentimental Side — Billie Holiday

Johnny burke / j. monaco

If you wonder why Im near you

Even though Ive been denied

Im 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 cant help being

On the sentimental side

I should act gay

Laugh it off and say, farewell

Say it just didnt wear well

But Im not that way

Im in hopes youll think it over

And perhaps be satisfied

With a simple sort of person

On the sentimental side

I should act gay

Laugh it off and say, farewell

Say it just didnt wear well

But Im not that way

Im in hopes youll think it over

And perhaps be satisfied

With a simple sort of person

On the sentimental side
