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 nighttime
Four walls won't hold me tonight
If this town is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
Chorus:
Why? why? Tell them that its human nature.
Why? why? Does he do me that way? (If they say);
Why? why? Tell them that its 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
Chorus:
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
(She's keeping him by, keeping him around)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way?
I like livin' this way,
I like lovin' this way. That way.
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?), why (why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
(She's keeping him by, keeping him around)
Ooh-ooh, tell 'em!
Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?), why (why?)
Cha-da-cha-sha-sha-sha-sha-sha (aah-ah)
Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way?
If they say why (why? why?), why (why? why? why?)
(She's keeping him by, keeping him around)
Ooh-ooh, tell 'em! (aah-ah)
Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?), why (why?)
Ooh, tell 'em!
Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way?
If they say why (why?), why (why?)
(She's keeping him by, keeping him around)
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way?
I like living this way
Why? Oh, why? (that way)
Why? Oh, why? (that way)
Why? Oh, why? (that way)
