Album:

Sentimental

This is something to thank your fortune for 
Although I got nothing & you got something 
See I'm not fit to be an open door 
Or the mat you wipe your feet upon 
Please someone 


Don't shake me up 
Many's the time I've thought of you 
Lying in my bed in the afternoon 
No-one for company 


This is the month that puts tomorrow back 
Only you got something, I got sidetracked 
Just for once I'd like my lover mapped 
For me to write my name upon 
Please someone 


Don't shake me up 
Many's the time I've thought of you 


Lying in your bed with the ocean view 
Not me for company 


Don't shake me up 
There'll be a time when I'm far from you 
When I will see the trick of you 
And the trick of you and me 


Then the burden of my heart (say something) 
Will not sing a sorry song 
Yea, the burden of my heart 
Will not be the sorry, be the sorry one 


No, don't shake me up 
Many's the time I've thought of you 
Lying in your bed in the afternoon...
