Human Nature

 

HUMAN NATURE

-Steve Porcaro and John Bettis

 

(From “THRILLER” Album)

 

 

Looking out

Across the nighttime

The city winks a sleepless eye

Hear her voice

Shake my window

Sweet seducing sighs

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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)

 

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
