Mmm... Oh, oh... Oh, oh...
Yeah...
Ooh... (That's the only time I get sentimental...)
Hmm...

I used to mess around, but I never let it get into me
'Cause I didn't take you serious, baby...
Now to be without your love, only makes me realize
What I could've had in you, honey...

Now that you're gone, I want you more
I said it slapped me in my face
And then, my friends don't understand
Because I had the chance - I don't know why...

I'm going crazy, alone in a daze, and my heart ain't the same
And I don't even think unless I think about you... mm...
That's the only time I get sentimental... yeah...
That's the reason why, baby, I can't let go of you...
Yeah... that's the only time I get sentimental...

I miss you day and night - seems like you're still here;
I'd rather be together, honey... oh...
Now that I'm lost for words, I can't believe I'm on my own;
I should've been looking at love...

Now that you're gone, I want you more;
I said it slapped me on my face
And now, my friends don't understand
Because I had the chance - I don't know why...

I'm going crazy, alone in a daze, and my heart ain't the same
And I don't even think unless I think about you... mmm...
That's the only time I get sentimental, yeah...
That's the reason why, baby, I can't let go of you...

(I'm going crazy,) Oh... (alone in a daze, and) my heart ain't the same
And I don't even think unless I think about you... oh...
That's the only time I get sentimental... mm-hmm...
That's the reason why, baby, I can't let go of you... mm-hmm...
That's the only time I get sentimental...
Oh...
Sing it... (That's the only time I get sentimental...)

Now that you're gone, I want you more
I said it slapped me on my face
And then, my friends don't understand
Because I had the chance - I don't know why...

(I'm going crazy, alone in a daze, and my heart ain't the same,)
Alone... My heart, my heart just ain't the same...
(And I don't even think) oh, no, unless I think about you - you, baby, baby...
(That's the only time I get sentimental...) Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah...
(That's the reason why, baby,) I can't let go of you...

(I'm going crazy, alone in a daze, and my heart ain't the same,) Alone...
(And I don't) even think unless I think about you!
(That's the only time I get sentimental...) That's the only time I think about you, baby, bay... oh, yeah, yeah...
That's the reason why, baby, I can't let go of, can't let go of you...
Oh, oh...

(That's the only time I get sentimental...) Ooh, I can't let go of you...
(That's the only time I get...) Tell me, baby, baby, yeah... (That's the only time I get...)
(That's the only time I get sentimental...) Oh, oh-oh, oh...
(That's the only time I get...)
