Lyric Sentimental Fool

(Ferry/Mackay)

Surely you cannot be leading me on?
Well if that s so, however can I love again?
How could I believe again?
How can I hold on?
Sentimental fool
Knowing that fate is cruel,
You ought to forget it.
Yes, I know it s true,
I ve seen what love can do,
But I don t regret it.
Oh, you silly thing--
Don t you see what s happening?
You re better without it.
No, that s not the case--
If you were in my place,
You never would doubt it.
Sentimental fool
Who broke the golden rule,
You couldn t resist it.
Though it s all in vain,
I d do it all again
Just to relive a minute.
A woman in love
Can make you feel good--
You know what you re living for.
She ll give you so much
And keep you in touch
With all that s worth living for.
Oh once she gets in
Through thick and through thin
She ll show you what living s for.
The rhythm of love
It must go on
Can t stop.
The beat of your heart
Is like a drum
Will it stop?
