"Human Nature" lyrics

Human nature
Human nature
We wanna make sure
That we can figure out
If we get talked about

I don't wanna know
The latest in salacious family news
Honestly I hate it but
It can keep me amused

Go on
Oh no she never
Let's get together
And talk it out

Human nature
Human nature
We wanna make sure
That we can figure out
If we get talked about

You don't wanna talk
But if you're going to gossip make it good
If they had the chance to dish on you
You know they would

You know
That office chatter
Tends not to flatter
And it's a shame
Although
It is beneath them
You'll grit your teeth when
You hear your name

Human nature
Human nature
We wanna make sure
That we can figure out
If we get talked about

You listen as they converse
And steel yourself for the worst
But nobody mentioned you at all

And lo!
Your world was shattered
You did not matter
Amongst your peers
A blow
That made you stronger
So you no longer
Prick up your ears

Human nature
Human nature
We wanna make sure
That we get talked about
So we won't feel left out
Human nature
