Sentimental

Deborah Cox · Deborah Cox

I used to mess around
But I did'nt let it get to me
Coz I didn't take you seriously baybe
Now to be without your love
Only makes me realise
What I could have had in you-honey

(Bridge)
Now that you're gone
I want you more
I said it slapped me on my face
And all my friends don't understand
Coz I had the chance
I don't know why...

(Hook)

I'm going crazy
Alone... in a daze
And my heart ain't the same
And I don't even think...
Unless I think about you...Baby
That's the only time I get sentimental,hey
That's the reason why baybe
I can't let go of you

I miss you day and nite
Seems like you're still here
I regret the things I said honey
Now I'm feeling lost for words
I can't believe I'm on my own
Shoulda been good to your love

(Bridge)
