Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm getting sentimental over you
Things you say and do, just thrill me through and through
I'm getting sentimental over you
I thought I was happy, I could live without love
Now I must admit, love is all I'm thinking of
Won't you please be kind, and just make up your mind
Because I'm sentimental over you

Never thought I'd fall, but now I hear love call
I never expected to fall in love, but now I hear its calling
I'm getting sentimental over you
My emotions are overwhelming me and I'm becoming sentimental towards you
Things you say and do, just thrill me through and through
Your words and actions are exciting and delightful to me
