(Why)
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 night time
Four walls won’t hold me tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite
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
If they say
Why, why
Just 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 livin’ this way
I like lovin’ this way
That way
Oh why, oh why
Oh why, why
Looking out
Across the morning
The city’s heart begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
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
Why, why
Does he do me that way
If they say
Why, why
Why, why
Does he do me that way
If they say
Why, why
Tell'em
Why, why
Does he do me that way
If they say why
Why, why
Tell'em
Why, why
Does he do me that way
If they say
Why, why
Why, why
Does he do me that way
I like livin’ this way
Why, oh why
Why, why
Why, oh why
