Human Nature

Steve Porcaro, John Bettis

Lyrics Translation

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

Looking out
Olhando lá para fora
Across the nighttime
Durante toda a noite
The city winks a sleepless eye
A cidade não dorme
Hear her voice
Ouça a voz dela
Shake my window
Agite minha janela
Sweet seducing sighs
Doces suspiros sedutores
Get me out
Tire-me daqui
Into the nighttime
Durante a noite
Four walls won't hold me tonight
Quatro paredes não vão me segurar esta noite
If this town
Se esta cidade
Is just an apple
É apenas uma maçã
Then let me take a bite
Então, deixe-me dar uma mordida
If they say
Se eles perguntarem
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Por que, por que, diga a eles que a natureza é humana
Why, why, does he do it that way
Por que, por que, ele faz isso assim
If they say
Se eles perguntarem
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Por que, por que, diga a eles que a natureza é humana
Why, why does he do me that way
Por que, por que ele faz assim comigo?
Reaching out
Esticando a mão
To touch a stranger
Para tocar um estranho
Electric eyes are everywhere
Olhos elétricos estão por toda parte
See that girl
Veja aquela garota
She knows I'm watching
Ela sabe que eu estou observando
She likes the way I stare
Ela gosta do jeito que a encaro
If they say
Se eles perguntarem
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Por que, por que, diga a eles que a natureza é humana
Why, why, does he do me that way
Por que, por que, ele faz assim
If they say
Se eles perguntarem
Why, why, tell 'em that it's human nature
Por que, por que, diga a eles que a natureza é humana
Why, why does he do me that way
Por que, por que ele faz assim comigo?
I like livin' this way
Eu gosto de viver assim
I like lovin' this way
Eu gosto de amar assim
(That way) Why why
(Assim) Por que
(That way) Why why
(Assim) Por que
Looking out
Olhando lá para fora
Across the morning
Pela manhã
Where the city's heart begins to beat
Onde o coração da cidade começa a bater
Reaching out
Esticando a mão
I touch her shoulder
Eu toco seu ombro
I'm dreaming of the street
Eu estou sonhando com a rua
If they say

Por que ele faz assim comigo, eu gosto de viver assim
Why, oh why, why, why
Por que, oh por que, por que, por que
Looking out

The city winks a sleepless eye
La ciudad hace un guiño a los ojos desvelados
Hear her voice
Escucha su voz
Shake my window
Sacude mi ventana
Sweet seducing sighs
Suspiros dulces y seductores
Get me out
Sácame
Into the nighttime
Hacia la noche
