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

Mercedes:
If they say

Sam and Mercedes:
Why? Why?
Tell 'em that it's human nature
Why, why

Mercedes:
Does he do me that way?
If they say

Sam and Mercedes:
Why? Why? 
Tell 'em that it's human nature

Sam:
Why? (Mercedes: Why?) Why?

Mercedes:
Does he do me that way, yeah

Sam:
Reaching out
To touch a stranger

Sam and Mercedes:
Electric eyes are everywhere (Mercedes: Ooh)

Sam:
See that girl?
She knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare

Mercedes:
If they say

Sam and Mercedes:
Why? Why?
Tell 'em that it's human nature
Why? Oh, why?
Does he do me that way?

Mercedes:
If they say

Sam:
Why? (Mercedes: Why?) Why?
 
Sam and Mercedes:
Tell 'em that it's human nature

Sam:
Why? (Mercedes: Why?) Oh, why?

Sam and Mercedes:
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
Where the city's heart begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch his shoulder

Sam and Mercedes:
I'm dreaming of the street

Mercedes:
And they say

Sam:
Why? (Mercedes: Why?) Why? (Mercedes: Why, why, why, why)

Sam and Mercedes:
Tell 'em hat it's human nature
Why? Why?
Does he do me that way?

Sam:
Why? (Mercedes: Dooby-doo-why) Why? (Mercedes: Dooby-doo-why, ooh)
Tell 'em that (with Mercedes:) it's human nature

Sam and Mercedes:
Why?

Sam:
Why?

Sam and Mercedes:
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?
