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 is human nature

Why, why, does he do me that way

If they say -

Why, why, tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why, does he do me that way.

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.

If they say -

Why, why, tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why, does he do me that way

If they say -

Why, why, tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why, does he do me that way

I like livin' this way

I like lovin' this 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.

If they say -

Why, why, tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why, does he do me that way

If they say -

Why, why, tell 'em that is human nature

Why, why, does he do me that way

I like livin' this way.
