Human Nature (ft. Michael Jackson) Songtext
von Quincy Jones

Why?

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 them that it's human nature
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)
Tell them that it′s human nature
Why (Why?), 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?), why (Why?)
Just tell them that it's human nature
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)
(She′s looking at me ′round and 'round)
Tell them 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?

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?), why (Why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)
(She's looking at me ′round and ′round)
Ooh, tell 'em
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)
Cha-da-cha-sha-sha-sha-sha-sha
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)
(She′s looking at me 'round and ′round)
Ooh, tell 'em
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)
Ooh, tell ′em
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)
(She's looking at me 'round and ′round)
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
I like livin′ this way

Why? Oh, why?
(That way) Why? Oh, why?
(That way) Why? Oh, why?
