Human Nature Songtext

von Trijntje Oosterhuis

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 just an apple
Then let me take a bite

If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way

Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere

See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare

If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
I like lovin' this way
I like lovin' this 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

If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
Oooh

If they say
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
