Sentimental Fool Lyrics - Lloyd Cole

The more I learn the less I know 

Could you make mine straight absolute? 

The more I fail the less I try 

Ask not of me the reason why 

Oh, my Sentimental Fool 

Have I got a tale for you 

Oh, my Sentimental Fool 

The woman I love is not content 

The life I made - it ain't what I meant 

The space I'm in is filled with love 

The state I'm in is pitiful 

Oh, my Sentimental Fool 

Have I got a tale for you 

Oh, my Sentimental Fool 

Have I got a tale for you... 

But, when she calls my name 

We're almost happy - she's almost like you 

Yes, when she calls my name 

We're almost there, man - she's almost like you 

The longer I live the less I believe 

And all I lost is all I need 

The life I made is filled with regret 

And I can't tell the half of it 

The woman I love has lost her faith 

And I just watch as she fades away 

The space I'm in is filled with love 

The shape I'm in ain't beautiful 

Oh, my Sentimental Fool 

Have I got a tale for you... 

I`m draining the glass for you 

Do you see my girl? 

She's almost like you...
