Michael Jackson - Human Nature Lyrics



Michael Jackson - Human Nature Lyrics
Official




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, ooo tell 'em
+
Why, why does he do me that way
+
If they say why, why, cha cha cha cha cha cha
+
Why does he do me that way
+
If they say why, why, why, ooh tell 'em
+
Why does he do me that way
+
If they say why, ooh tell 'em
+
Why does he do me that way
+
If they say why, da-da-da da da da da-da
+
Why, why, does he do my that way, I like living this way
+
Why, oh why, why, why
+

"Human Nature" is a song performed by American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson, and it is the fifth single from his sixth solo album, Thriller . The track was produced by Quincy Jones and performed by some band members of Toto with Jackson providing vocals.

It was originally written by keyboardist Steve Porcaro, based on a conversation he had with his young daughter Heather after a boy hit her at school, Porcaro said "he probably likes you and it's human nature". Porcaro, along with some Toto bandmates, had been assisting with the production of Thriller, but he had not intended for "Human Nature" to be used by Jackson. However, Jones inadvertently heard a demo version of the track and thought it would be a great fit for the album. Jones then brought in songwriter John Bettis to rewrite the verses, whose lyrics are about a passerby in New York City. The song would ultimately replace the track "Carousel", which had been already recorded for Thriller.

"Human Nature" was released as a single on July 4, 1983. Like the four Thriller singles before it, the song became a top 10 hit in the US, reaching number seven on the Billboard Hot 100. It also reached number two on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and is certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In Canada and the Netherlands, the single reached number 11. The single was not released in the UK. The song garnered positive reviews from music critics. "Human Nature" has been sampled by numerous artists, including Nas with "It Ain't Hard to Tell", and Teddy Riley who remixed SWV's single "Right Here" with a sample of "Human Nature", with the remix reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
