Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
And if this town is just an apple
Will you take a bite?
[Verse 2]
And if they say why, why
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why does it to me that way?
Oh oh, I tell you why, why
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why does it to me that way?
[Verse 3]
Reaching out to a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
And I see that girl, she knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
[Verse 4]
And if they say why, why
Just tell them that it's human nature
Why, why does it do me that way?
If they say why, why
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why you never do me that way?
I love living this way, I love living this way
[Verse 5]
Looking out across the morning
The city heart begins to beat
Reaching out I touch her shoulder
Dreaming of the street
[Verse 6]
And if they say why, why
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why  does it to me that way?
Oh, oh why, why
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why  does it to me this way?
Why, why
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why does it do me that way?
They say why, why
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why he never do me that way?
No, why, why
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why do me that way?
I love living this way
