BILLIE HOLIDAY - ON THE SENTIMENTAL SIDE lyrics

Johnny Burke / J. Monaco

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 hopes you'll 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 didn't wear well

But I'm not that way

I'm in hopes you'll think it over

And perhaps be satisfied

With a simple sort of person

On the sentimental side
