Lyrics

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 house and weep your heart out
And cry your eyes out and rack your brain
You say it and wonder, how anyone is wonderful as he
Could '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
Written by: K.E.R.N, Nina Simone, Robin
