Nat “King” Cole
Was That the Human Thing to Do
[Verse 1]
Never thought that anyone in their right mind
Could never treat another human so unkind
Didn't you sneak away and leave a note behind?
Was that the human thing to do?
[Verse 2]
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?
[Bridge]
Now I'm not tryin' to patch things up
What's been done must be
Gee, I wouldn't even treat a pup
The way you treated me
[Verse 3]
How could anybody be so darn unfair?
You let me hang around till I learned to care
Didn't you even laugh and leave me cryin' therе?
Was that the human thing to do?
[Verse 1]
(Never thought that anyonе in their right mind)
(Could never treat another human so unkind)
(Didn't you sneak away and leave a note behind?)
Was that the human thing to do?
[Verse 2]
(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?
[Bridge]
Now I just wanna be understood
I'm no false alarm
If I couldn't do a human good
I wouldn't do them harm
[Verse 4]
How you let me fall and how you let me go
And when I begged you back you said you had to go
But didn't you even try to take my stereo?
Was that the human thing to do?
[Outro]
Was that the human thing to do?
Was that the human thing to do?
Was that the human thing to do?
