IN LOVE IN VAIN
(Jerome Kern / Leo Robin)

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 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

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
