Human Nature
Glee Cast · Other Songs - Glee Cast
Looking out across the nighttime
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear his voice, shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
Sam:
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
Sam and Mercedes:
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why, (Mercedes: 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
Sam:
Reaching out to touch a stranger
Sam and Mercedes:
Electric eyes are everywhere
Sam:
See that girl, she knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
Sam and Mercedes:
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, oh why, does he do me that way
If they say,
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, oh why, does he do me that way
Mercedes:
I like livin' this way
Sam:
I like lovin' this way
Mercedes:
Oh why
Oh why
Oh why
Oh why
Mercedes:
Looking out across the morning
Where the city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out, I touch his shoulder
Sam and Mercedes:
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
Mercedes:
I like livin' this way
Sam:
I like lovin' this way
Mercedes:
Oh why
Oh why
Oh why
Oh why
Sam and Mercedes:
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Why
