Jerome Kern
In Love in Vain
(Verse)
Love can be a blessing
But also most depressing
And I don't mind confessing
That I feel mighty blue
(Chorus)
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 out 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 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
