1st Verse
Looking out
Across the night-time

The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window

Sweet seducing sighs
2nd Verse
Get me out

Into the night-time
Four 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, 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
(Instrumental section)
4th Verse

Looking out
Across the loneliness
The city's heart begins to beat

Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street


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
I like livin' this way
