Was That The Human Thing To Do? Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Joe Young Performer(s): The Boswell Sisters; and various other artists
To err is human I heard you say Forgiveness is divine But all the sweet things that you may say Cant mend this heart of mine
Never thought that anyone in their right mind Could ever treat another human so unkind Didnt 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 Didnt you let your kisses turn from hot to cold? Was that the human thing to do?
Now Im not trying to patch things up Cos whats been done must be Lord, I wouldnt 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 Didnt you even laugh and leave me cryin there Was that the human thing to do?
Now I just want to be understood Im no false alarm If I couldnt do a human good I wouldnt do em harm
How you let me fall and how you let me be And when I begged you for a little sympathy Didnt you even try to hi-di-hi-di me? Was that the human thing to do?
