Looking out
Across the night-time

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

Sweet seducing sighs

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

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 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)

Looking out

Across the morning
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


[Repeat Chorus - Ad-lib/fade-out]
