Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's only human for anyone to want be in love
But who wants to be in love in vain?
At night, you hang around the house and you eat your heart out
And cry your eyes out and rack your brain
[Verse 2]
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
'Cause it's just my luck to be in love in vain
[Verse 3]
It's only human for anyone to want be in love
But who wants to be in love in vain?
And now you hang around the house, you hang around the house
And eat your heart out
And cry your eyes out and rack your brain
[Verse 4]
You sit here 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
'Cause it's just my luck to be in love, just my luck to be in love
Just my luck to be in love in vain
In vain
