Lloyd Cole - Sentimental Fool lyrics

The more I learn the less I know

Could you make mine straight absolute?

The more I fail the less I try

Ask not of me the reason why

Oh, my Sentimental Fool

have I got a tale for you

Oh, my Sentimental Fool

The woman I love is not content

The life I made - it ain't what I meant

The space I'm in is filled with love

The state I'm in is pitiful

Oh, my Sentimental Fool

have I got a tale for you

Oh, my Sentimental Fool

have I got a tale for you...

But, when she calls my name

we're almost happy - she's almost like you

yes, when she calls my name

we're almost there, man - she's almost like you

The longer I live the less I believe

and all I lost is all I need

The life I made is filled with regret

and I can't tell the half of it

The woman I love has lost her faith

and I just watch as she fades away

The space I'm in is filled with love

The shape I'm in ain't beautiful

Oh, my Sentimental Fool

have I got a tale for you...

i`m draining the glass for you

Do you see my girl?

She's almost like you...
