Looking out
 Across the nighttime
 The city winks a sleepless eye
 Hear his 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 me 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 ev'rywhere
 See that boy
 he knows I'm watching
 he 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
 Looking out
 Across the morning
 Where the city's heart begins to beat
 Reaching out
 I touch his 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
 Why, why,
 Why, why,
 does he do me that way
 Why, why,
 Why, why,
 does he do me that way
 I like livin' this way
