[Verse 1]
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 halls
And eat your heart out
And cry your eyes out
And rack your brain

[Verse 2]
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

[Outro]
I thought that I'd had easy sailing
But instead I'm all at sea
Cause it's just my luck to be in love in vain
