Human Nature

Quincy Jones · From Q With Love [2005]

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, tell 'em that it's human nature

Why, why, does he do it 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, 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) Why why

(That way) Why why



Looking out

Across the morning

Where 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 that it's human nature

Why, why does he do me that way
