Looking out across the nighttime

The city winks a sleepless eye

Hear her voice, shake my window

Sweet seducing sighs

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

If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)

Tell 'em that it's human nature

Why (Why?), why (Why?), does he do me that way?

If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)

Tell 'em that it's human nature

Why (Why?), why (Why?), does he do me that way?

[Verse 2]

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?), why (Why?)

Just tell 'em that it's human nature

Why (Why?), why (Why?), does he do me that way?

If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)

(She's giving in by keeping him a-round)

Tell 'em that it's human nature

Why (Why?), why (Why?), does he do me that way?

I like livin' this way

I like lovin' this way

(That way) Why? Oh, why?

(That way) Why? Oh, why?
