In Love In Vain 1946 Kern JPitt-Payne

Love can be a blessing
but also most depressing
and I don't mind confessing
that I feel mighty blue!

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 house
and eat your heart out,
and cry your eyes out,
and wrack your brain.
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.

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 house
and eat your heart out,
and cry your eyes out,
and wrack your brain.
You sit and wonder
why anyone
as wonderful as she
should cause you
such misery and pain.
I thought that
I'd have easy sailing
but instead, I'm all at sea,
'cause it's just my luck
to be in love in vain.
