"Human Nature" lyrics
(originally by Michael Jackson)
Why?
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
Four walls won't hold me tonight
If this town is an apple
Then let me take a bite
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Why did he do me that way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Why did he do me that way?
Reaching out to touch a stranger
Ignoring eyes are everywhere
See that girl, she knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Why did he do me that way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Why did he do me that way?
Don't like livin' this way
Don't like lovin' this way
Oh, why?
Oh, why?
Looking out, across the morning
The city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out to touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that I give in to human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Why did I do me this way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that I give in to human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
How could I do me this way?
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that I give in to human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
How could I do me this way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that I give in to human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
How could I do me this way?
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that I give in to human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
How could I do me this way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that I give in to human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
How could I do me this way?
Don't like livin' this way
Why? I wanna know why
Human nature
Change my nature, change, change
Change my nature, change, change
Change my nature, change, change
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
Four walls won't hold me tonight
If this town is an apple
Then let me take a bite
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Why did he do me that way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Why did he do me that way?
Reaching out to touch a stranger
Ignoring eyes are everywhere
See that girl, she knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Why did he do me that way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Why did he do me that way?
Don't like livin' this way
Don't like lovin' this way
Oh, why?
Oh, why?
Looking out, across the morning
The city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out to touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that I give in to human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
Why did I do me this way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that I give in to human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
How could I do me this way?
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that I give in to human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
How could I do me this way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that I give in to human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
How could I do me this way?
Why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that I give in to human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
How could I do me this way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that I give in to human nature
Why (why?), why (why?)
How could I do me this way?
Don't like livin' this way
Why? I wanna know why
Human nature
Change my nature, change, change
Change my nature, change, change
Change my nature, change, change
