On The Sentimental Side Lyrics - Billie Holiday

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
