Classic Poem

(Joe Young alone)

VERSE

To err is human, I heard you say,
Forgiveness is divine.
But all the sweet things you may say
Can't mend this heart of mine.

REFRAIN

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?

1. Now I'm not trying to patch things up,
What's been done must be.
Lord! I wouldn't ever treat a pup
The way you treated me.
How could anyone be so darn 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?

2. 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 hi de hi de me?
Was that the human thing to do?
