In Love in Vain - Mel Torme

It’s only human for anyone to want to be in love

But who wants to be in love in vain

At night you hang around the hall

And eat your heart out

And cry your eyes out

And rack your brains

You sit and wonder why anyone as wonderful as she

Should cause you such misery and pain

I thought that I would be in Heaven

But I’m only up a tree

'Cos it’s just my luck to be in love in vain

You sit and wonder why anyone as wonderful as he

Should cause you such misery and pain

I thought that I would be in Heaven

But I’m only up a tree

'Cos it’s just my luck to be in love in vain
