Michael Jackson - Human Nature Lyrics






Looking out
Across the night-time
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs

Get me out
Into the night-time
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 is human nature
Why, why does he do it that way?
If they say, "Why? Why?"
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do it 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?"
Just tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do it that way?
If they say, "Why? Why?"
(Do you really like me to be around?)
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do it that way?
I like livin' this way
I like lovin' this way

That way (The way it was.)
That way (The way it was.)

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?"
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do it that way?
If they say, "Why? Why?"
(Just tell me you like me to be around.)
Ooh, tell 'em
Why, why does he do it that way?

If they say, "Why? Why?"

Why, why does he do it that way?
If they say, "Why? Why?"
(Just tell me you like me to be around.)
Ooh, tell 'em
Why, why does he do it that way?

And they say, "Why? Why?"
Ooh, tell 'em
Why, why does he do it that way?

They say, "Why? Why?"
(Just tell me you like me to be around.)
Why, why does he do it that way?
I like livin' this way

The way
The way

  5. L.... L....

    I like to listen to this song late at night when I'm on the freeway on my Sports bike. No one is around, I drop down into third and lay on the throttle and hit 150 while MJ tells me its human nature.

  6. M.... �....

    !! El mejor de todos los tiempos en su género +++ QEPD Michael Jackson +++

  7. F.... R....

    Sin is Satan's nature, not human nature. We are only influenced by Satan. We were not created to sin. So we should not excuse our sin and blame ourselves. Blame Satan, the Deceiver. You may enjoy your sin, but the only way to get to heaven is to DENY your flesh.

    الف رحمه علئ روحك مايكل

  29. M.... V....

    I owned this album. 🙃

  30. D.... ....

    Steve Porcaro of Toto wrote this song.

    D.... ....

    Dirwulf - no wonder why I like it!

  31. F.... W....

    Innocent idk....don't care... he would have to be held accountable for his own actions.... I just know I love his music and love him just like I do everybody else....R.I.P Micheal 😇💙

    F.... W....

    Yeah, if he did something wrong, he'll pay for it. If he didn't he won't. That's between him and his god. I don't care and I'm nobody to judge.

  32. T.... T....

    This song and plenty of OG tracks like this give me goosebumps.

  33. P.... W....

    It's really sad because I based my whole life on many of Michael Jackson songs. Leaving Neverland crushed me, I had to take three days off work. Today was the first time in months I've listened to his music. But I really do believe those kids because this stuff happened to me when I was younger. Im aware of that type of person, those guys are telling the truth. Goodbye Michael. I loved you but can't love you anymore.

  34. J.... B....

    Beautiful music. REST IN PEACE my brother god has you now

  35. B.... ....

    I bought Thriller before it blew up 😊

    Dec 7 2019
    Forever classic

  45. C.... L....

    THIS IS A TOTO SONG!!! STEVE PORCARO MADE THIS SONG!!!! AND STEVE LUKATHER PLAYED GUITAR HERE!!!

  46. G.... M....

    Steve Lukather, David Paich, Jeff Porcaro and Steve Porcaro deserve a lot of credit for making this album as great as it was. They played a lot of the music.

  47. C.... H....

    #MJ iconic Classic sound 4ever Rockin indeed 💯

  48. T.... ....

    I always "use" this song in conversations with friends when i want to prove that pop/mainstream music used to be top quality back in the days.

  49. g.... h....

    The greatest

  50. g.... ....

    Steve Lukather deserves a credit

  51. X.... n....

    Habe ich heute beim Abhören von FM Hits 1983 seit Jahren wieder entdeckt. Unvergessen und unbeschreiblich musician pur! R.I.P. Michael, your unknown friend Andrew from Germany - this world was not yours, it was bad to you, that`s not fair!

  52. s.... q....

    I still miss Michael Jackson when I saw him at wembley on bad tour it was so great he was a geñious

  53. s.... b....

    Steve Lukather of Toto on guitar. Some of the sweetest lead ever.

    s.... b....

    And of course Jeff Porcaro on the skins!

  54. P.... B....

    Years after his death, after all the weird shit and accusations, we realize that he truly was the King of Pop. His music will live on forever. No one can and will ever come close to what he has accomplished. RIP MJ.

  55. R.... G....

    I didn't know Michael Jackson was in Toto?

  56. c.... f....

    Lukather

  57. A.... J....

    This song is 1 of my Top 3 songs of MJ my other 2 are Billie Jean and Dance with You. But of course I love ALL of his music we almost into 2020 and their isn't a artist out here that I can say took his place just like nobody can replace Whitney Houston or Tupac PERIODT don't @ me because I don't debate or argue when it comes to FACTS!!!!!!!!!!

  58. W.... P....

    Toto featuring MJ.

  59. C.... P....

    The Most talented Musical Artist on this planet.
    Dead or Alive ....... Michael still beats them all !
    When you go to tiny beautiful towns in Norway , Finland and even County Cork in Ireland and you still hear and see people dancing all the sudden to a empty dance floor to Michael Jackson??! I mean people LITERALLY JUMPED UP AND RAN TO THE DANCE FLOOR !
    They typed in Beat it ! , The girl is mine , Stranger in Moscow , Keep it in the Closet , Billy Jean and Human Nature.
    I sat there and just watched , my heart dropped a couple of times .
    Because all this ignorant racism in United States isn't here in Norway or Ireland.
    I saw people dancing terribly ! My God they sucked ! 😂❤👍🏾 But they didn't care !
    They only wanted to dance to Michael Jackson and I sat there and my eyes just watered .
    The man writes a beautiful song " Stranger in Moscow " but he was treated less than a stranger in his own country !
    The people in United States should be highly embarrassed to the point they Vomit on themselves !
    Michael Jackson is an American Treasure that no other country has ever had ! But would love to have him as their own !
    And United States treated him the way they did and made all of these Spineless Parasitic Fucks !! Uber Millionaires behind closed doors .
    Still hard to believe Michael Jackson isn't alive anymore, So it's great that so much of his music is still here .... where he'll live FOREVER !!
    AT LEAST OUTSIDE OF UNITED STATES !! .

  60. H.... C....

    One of my favorite songs of all times <3 Love from MJ fan in Norway

  61. r.... ....

    49 yr old white nerdy male here. I grew up on the great MJ. Most people know his musical talent... but his other very real talent was picking the right musicians to work with. This song is one of a few MJ did not write. Thank the amazing Steve Porcaro for his writing and keyboard magic on "Human Nature". MJ is dearly missed. The world cries for our loss.

  62. M.... B....

    The voice of an angel...

  63. C.... P....

    Steve Porcaro is a genius

  64. T.... M....

    They wrote a pretty good song for him

  65. j.... d....

    Human nature to keep our innocence ... but in our minds we think what we do is the wright thing to do ...

  66. P.... N....

    Am I the only one that’s obsessed with the ending 3:55-4:17

  67. M.... A....

    This song makes peace in a persons heart, just listen because its human nature

  68. Y.... D....

    J adooreee

  69. E.... L....

    Anyone watching in 2019??

  70. T.... ....

    My 2 year old daughter loves this song!

  71. K.... C....

    It's so sad that he's know longer here he's been dead for 10 yrs

    bedd floor girl

  79. k.... !....

  80. Y.... Y....

    Melly sampled this song

  81. l.... j....

    Who’s here after listening to ynw melly new song?

  82. D.... S....

    This is simply magic. Quincy Jones had horns, percussions,hi hats, and that keyboard run is untouchable.He added all of these sounds and instruments in this beat, you hear every sound tuned and arranged perfectly. Michael gives the vocal performance you only get to witness once in a generation. He was a different energy set to music ,and was meant for the world abroad to enjoy.

  83. O.... W....

    Who's still listening to this in 2532?

  84. C.... M....

    You didn't have to die this way MJ. May your soul rest in peace.

  85. B.... A....

    Very nice song from Mj 💋
