The Boswell Sisters — Was That the Human Thing To Do

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? 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 tryin' to patch things up What's been done must be Lord, I wouldn't even Treat a pup The way you treated me How could anybody be so darn unfair? You let me hang around Til I learned to care Didn't you even laugh And leave me cryin' there -- 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 [Instrumental and repeat verses 1 & 2] Now I just wanna be understood... [Scat] Won't you tell me How could anybody Be so darn unfair You let me hang around Till I learned to care Didn't you even laugh And leave me cryin' there -- Was that the human thing to do? Was that the human thing to do?
