Was That the Human Thing to Do |
To err is human |
I heard you say |
Forgiveness is divine |
But all the sweet things that you may say |
Can’t mend this heart of mine |
Never thought that anyone in their right mind |
Could ever treat another human so unkind |
Didn’t you sneak away |
And leave a note behind |
Was that the human thing to do? |
I always thought that yours was such a heart of gold |
But after I was sold on all the tales you told |
Didn’t you let your kisses turn from hot to cold? |
Was that the human thing to do? |
Now I’m not trying to patch things up |
'Cause what’s been done must be |
Lord, I wouldn’t even treat a pup |
The way you treated me |
How could anybody be so darned unfair? |
You let me hang around |
Until I learned to care |
Didn’t you even laugh and leave me crying there |
Was that the human thing to do? |
Now I just want to be understood |
I’m no false alarm |
If I couldn’t do a human good |
I wouldn’t do 'em harm |
How you let me fall |
And how you let me be |
And when I begged you for a little sympathy |
Didn’t you even try to hi-di-hi-di me? |
Was that the human thing to do? |
