Human Nature
HUMAN NATURE
By Steve Porcaro and John Bettis
[1st Verse]
Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
[2nd Verse]
Get me out
Into the nighttime
For walls won’t hold me tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
[Chorus]
If they say
Why, why, tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say -
Why, why, tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
[3rd Verse]
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are ev’rywhere
See that girl
She knows I’m watching
She likes the way I stare
[Chorus]
If they say -
Why, why, just tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say -
Why, why, tell ‘em that is human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
I like livin’ this way
I like lovin’ this way
That way (that way)
That way (that way)
[4th Verse]
Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city’s heart begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I’m dreaming of the street
[Repeat Chorus - Ad-Lib/Fade-Out]
