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]
