Was That The Human Thing To Do

Was That The Human Thing To Do - The Boswell Sisters

Written by：Eddie Lang,Meyer

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

Until 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

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 that you told

Didn't you let your kisses turn

From hot to cold

Was that the human thing to do

Now I just wanna be understood

Won't you tell me

How could anybody

Be so darn unfair

You tell 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
