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 hall
And eat your heart out
And cry your eyes out
And rack your brains

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

You sit and wonder why anyone as wonderful as he
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
