sentimental street

saw you walkin' out on sentimental street

what'cha doin' out there

who you tryin' to be

i know what you're thinking

'cause i've been there myself

i've been kicked so many times

i don't know nothin' else

still i noticed your urgency

i'll recognize the flair

that ya got from chasin'

all those east coast dares

and i've seen it before

it happens time and again

all cut up inside

yet you're caught in a spin

out on sentimental street in the avenues

take a good hard look

there ain't nothin' ever new

out on sentimental street in the avenues

will you ever find out

guess i'll leave it up to you

saw you dancin' out at madame wong two's

you did the same two steps

that i taught you back in june

heard you dined last night

at conte razor's cafe

did you get your fill

did you think you had to pay

still i noticed your urgency

and recognized the pain

and i'm sure it's the same

you feel again and again

and i wish i could get us

that second chance

but you're having too much fun

with your sudden romance

out on sentimental street in the avenues

take a good hard look

there ain't nothin' ever new

out on sentimental street in the avenues

will you ever find us

guess i'll leave it up to you

out on sentimental street in the avenues

take a good hard look

there ain't nothin' ever new

out on sentimental street in the avenues

will you ever find us

guess i'll leave it up to you

sentimental street in the avenues

oh' take a good hard look

there ain't nothin' ever new

out on sentimental street in the avenues

will you ever find us

guess i'll leave it up to you

saw you walking out on sentimental street

what'cha doin' out there

who you tryin' to be

out on sentimental street in the avenues

will you ever find us

guess i'll leave it up to you
