"(I Love You) for Sentimental Reasons" is a popular song written by Ivory "Deek" Watson, founding member of the Ink Spots and of the Brown Dots, and William "Pat" Best, founding member of the Four Tunes.

The credits and Duchess Music list Watson as a co-writer. Best later claimed that Watson had nothing to do with the creation of the song, but Watson maintained in his late-1960s autobiography that he and Best wrote the song together, lyrics and music respectively. Best was a member of Watson's group, the Brown Dots. The composition was published in print in 1945 by Duchess Music Corp. Also in 1945, the song was recorded and released by Watson's quartet with Joe King as lead vocalist on the Manor Records label (catalog No. 1041A).
