[1st Verse]
Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs

[2nd Verse]
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]
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

[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 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
I like lovin' this way
I like lovin' this way
(Instrumental section)

[4th Verse]
Looking out
Across the morning
Where the city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
Repeat Chorus (Ad-lib/fade-out)
