Mercedes:
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
Both:
If they say, "Why? Why?"
Tell 'em that is human nature
"Why, why, does he do me that way?"
If they say, "Why? Why?"
Tell 'em that is human nature
"Why, why, does he do me that way?"
Sam:
Reaching out to touch a stranger
Both:
Electric eyes are ev'rywhere
Sam:
See that girl, she knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
Both:
If they say, "Why? Why?"
Tell 'em that is human nature
"Why, why, does he do me that way?"
If they say, "Why? Why?"
Tell 'em that is 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?
Looking out across the morning
The city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out, I touch his shoulder
Both:
I'm dreaming of the street
If they say, "Why? Why?"
Tell 'em that is human nature
"Why, why, does he do me that way?"
If they say, "Why? Why?"
Tell 'em that is 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?
Both:
Why, why?
Tell 'em that it's human nature
Why?
