Was That the Human Thing to Do?

Never thought that anyone in his right mind

Could be so unkind, so unkind, so unkind

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?

(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 trying to patch things up

What's been done must be

(Nothing can change it)

Lord, I wouldn't 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

Didn't you even laugh and leave me crying there?

Was that the human thing to do?

You'd never think that anyone in his right mind

Could be so unfair to a gal so fine

It takes all kinds of people

I mean all kinds of people

We never thought that anyone in his right mind

Could ever treat anybody so unkind

But you, you sneaked away leaving a note behind

That ain't the thing to do

Was that the human thing to do?

She really thought you had a heart of gold

And that's why she fell for the tales you told

Then you, you let your kisses turn from hot to cold

That ain't the thing to do

Ain't even human

Now, I just want to be understood

I'm no false alarm

If I couldn't do a human good

I wouldn't do 'em harm

How you let me fall and how you let me be

And when I begged you for a little sympathy

Didn't you even try to hidey-hidey me?

(Was that) the human thing to do?

(That ain't) the human thing to do

Now, we ask ya

Was that the human thing to do?
