(words and music by Joe Jackson)



We always were the kind of people

To take it hard when things would go wrong

Little things would bother me

And little things would make you cry



And after all the confrontations

When it comes time for saying goodbye

All that I can wonder

Is what do I do with these flowers



And what do I do with my evenings

And what do you do with that ring

I'm gonna go now

No you can't hold me

Not with such a sentimental thing



So tell me why I'm feeling nothing

And tell me how you can't even cry

Little things are logical

But if there's a god above then

Can it be that love was

Just another sentimental thing
