[Mercedes:]
Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear his voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
[Sam:]
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
[Sam and Mercedes:]
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, ([Mercedes:] 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
[Sam:]
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
[Sam and Mercedes:]
Electric eyes are everywhere
[Sam:]
See that girl
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
[Sam and Mercedes:]
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, oh why, does he do me that way
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, oh why, does he do me that way
[Mercedes:]
I like livin' this way
[Sam:]
I like lovin' this way
[Mercedes:]
Oh why
Oh why
[Mercedes:]
Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch his shoulder
[Sam and Mercedes:]
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
[Mercedes:]
I like livin' this way
[Sam:]
I like lovin' this way
[Mercedes:]
Oh why
Oh why
[Sam and Mercedes:]
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why.
