Saw you walking out on Sentimental Street
What cha going out there
Who ya trying 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 nothing else
Still I noticed your urgency 
I recognized the flair
That ya got from chasing 
All those East coast dares
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 nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street in the avenues
Will you ever find out 
Guess I'll leave it up to you

Saw you dancing out at Madame Wong's Two 
You did those same two steps
That I taught you back in June
Heard you dined last night 
At Conte Razor's Café
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 nothing ever new
Out on Sentimental Street in the avenues
Will you ever find us
Guess I'll leave it up to you
(Repeat)
