Looking out across the night time
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear his 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 them that it's human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?

If they say: why, why?
Just tell them 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?
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, oh, why does he do me that way?

If they say: why, why?
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, oh, why does he do me that way?

I like living this way
I like loving this way

Oh, why, oh, why
Oh, why, oh, why

Looking out across the morning
The city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out, I touch her shoulder
Dreaming of the street

And they say: why, why?
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?

Why, why?
Tell them that it's human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?

I like living this way
I like loving this way

Oh why, oh why
Oh why, oh why

Why, why?
Tell them that it's human nature
Why?
