Looking out Across the nightime 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 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
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 I like lovin′ this way I like lovin′ this way
Looking out Across the nightime Where the city′s heart begins to beat Reaching out I touch her shoulder I′m dreaming of the street Chorus (Ad lib - fade out)
And i′m not sorry [i′m not sorry] It′s human nature [it′s human nature] And i′m not sorry [i′m not sorry] I′m not your bitch don′t hang your shit on me [it′s human nature]
You wouldn′t let me say the words i longed to say You didn′t want to see life through my eyes [express yourself, don′t repress yourself] You tried to shove me back inside your narrow room And silence me with bitterness and lies [express yourself, don′t repress yourself]
Did i say something wrong? Oops, i didn′t know i couldn′t talk about sex [i musta been crazy] Did i stay too long? Oops, i didn′t know i couldn′t speak my mind [what was i thinking]
(chorus)
You punished me for telling you my fantasies I′m breakin′ all the rules i didn′t make [express yourself, don′t repress yourself] You took my words and made a trap for silly fools You held me down and tried to make me break [express yourself, don′t repress yourself]
Bridge:
Did i say something true? Oops, i didn′t know i couldn′t talk about sex [i musta been crazy] Did i have a point of view? Oops, i didn′t know i couldn′t talk about you [what was i thinking]
(chorus, with the following spoken substitutions) [i′m not apologizing] [would it sound better if i were a man?] [you′re the one with the problem] [why don′t you just deal with it]
(chorus, with the following spoken substitutions) [would you like me better if i was?] [we all feel the same way] [i have no regrets] [just look in the mirror]
(chorus, with the following spoken substitutions) [i don′t have to justify anything] [i′m just like you] [why should i be?] [deal with it]
