Sentimental – Alexander O’Neal

Take a walk down memory lane
And see where the path might lead you
Familiar things do change
But in our minds they stay the same
I can hear the voice of my mama
Calling out her children’s names
She says, “Come on in, it’s dinner time”
Let me help my babies fix their plates

We all have memories, we should not forget
Times that become part of our lives
A person so heartfelt
When I think of you, history, I get sentimental thoughts
When I think of you, woman, ooh, ooh
I get sentimental

You were holding hands
Walking through the park
It seems like yesterday
It felt so good to be in love
But our age got in the way
I still feel the warmth of your arms
A big kiss on my face
When I reminisce, I think of this
‘Cause what I miss is you

We all have memories, we should not forget (we should not forget)
Times that become part of our lives
A person so heartfelt
When I think of you, history, I get sentimental thoughts
Ooh baby, I get sentimental

Wonderful, that’s what you are, yes
Unforgettable, you know my heart won’t let me, so
Lovable, so lovable, baby
I get emotional when I think of your love

So sentimental, baby
You’re so unforgettable, woman
When you touch my life
Ooh, you’re wonderful
Oh, and so lovable, so lovable, baby
So lovable, baby
No no no no

Sentimental parts of moments
Captured in our mind as we grow up
Things in life do change for us
But memories stay the same (the same, the same)
Love ones in our lives are a part of
Never take for granted someone
Spend some time while they’re around
Spend some time, share sentimental

We all have memories, we should not forget
Times that become part of our lives
A person so heartfelt (ooh baby, ooh baby)
When I think of you, history, I get sentimental thoughts
That’s what you do to me, that’s what you do to me, yeah
I get sentimental

Hey… oh yes… oh yes… oh girl… ooh baby… oh baby
Oh yes… oh girl… oh yes… oh baby… oh yes… oh girl
Oh yes… oh baby… oh baby… ooh baby… ooh yeah
Come on, come here, come on, come here, baby
Come here, come here, baby
Come here, come here, baby
Come here, come here, baby
Let me take you for a ride
Come and go with me, yeah…
Sentimental… sentimental… ooh, so sentimental
