What That The Human Thing To Do - Young, Fain

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?
