Sometimes I want to be sad
Sometimes I want to be happy
I just want to feel everything
The cheerful and the sappy
I just want to be loved as everybody should
Sometimes I want to say nothing
And still be understood
Sometimes it's hard to be easy
Tough to be cool
Time keeps slipping on past me
No matter what I do
And if a sentimental teardrop
Is running down my cheek
I'm holding back a rain cloud
That needs to be released
I like to hear the rain fall
As I go to sleep
To wash away those old dreams
I shouldn't keep
These sentimental teardrops
Need to fall
From time to time
Sometimes I try to be honest
Without a doubt
I try to tell the truth sometimes
But the opposite comes out
Sometimes I want to make love
I won't deny it
Sometimes I want to talk dirty
Then feel embarrassed by it
Sometimes I want to freak out
I want to be numb
Sometimes I feel so angry
But not at anyone
And if a sentimental teardrop
Is running down my cheek
I'm holding back a rain cloud
That needs to be released
I like to hear the rain fall
It helps me go to sleep
To wash away those old dreams
I shouldn't keep
These sentimental teardrops
Need to fall
From time to time
Sometimes I want to be famous
But I don't want to try
I can't help but be lazy
Hey, maybe that's why
Sometimes I want to be modest
Civil and restrained
Sometimes I want to go naked
And not feel ashamed
I get so tired of being quiet
I want to yell
Sometimes I want to know how it feels
To be somebody else
And if a sentimental teardrop
Is running down my cheek
I'm holding back a rain cloud
That needs to be released
I love to hear the rain fall
It helps me go to sleep
To wash away those old dreams
I shouldn't keep
These sentimental teardrops
Need to fall
From time to time
These sentimental teardrops
Need to fall
From time to time
