Being Sentimental Lyrics

So now I’m giving up holding up my hands, not taking anymore, need to take a stand
I’m saying little words that you’ll never understand now
Because being sentimental doesn’t get you through the day
We all need a little something to take away the pain
So no more little person left crying in the rain it’s me in the front seat

Oh, what am I gonna do? I need good love but you can’t pull through
Oh, what am I gonna do? I need good loving but not from you
Oh, what am I gonna do?

So why you look surprised? My eyes said all you never held me up, so there’ll be no fall
I’m keeping my dreams in someone else’s hands now
Because being sentimental only drives a man insane, we all need a little something to take away the pain
No, no more little person left crying in the rain, just me in the front seat

Oh, what am I gonna do? I need good love but you can’t pull through
Oh, what am I gonna do? I need good loving but not from you
Oh, what am I gonna do?

And through the days, and through the nights, I need someone who can fit right
Someone who’s strong enough to let me know all these things that you just can’t show
Oh, what am I gonna do?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
