Human

Lyrics

I was trying for a Smokey-Robinson-meets-Steely-Dan vibe but it turned into something different, as usual...

HUMAN (Mike Borok)

Birds of a feather flirt and flock together
I guess you never learned that rule
And it’s true throughout Creation
Is this miscommunication?
No beast would ever act so cool

Don’t you know that I’m only human?
And you know that words only go so far
Baby, if you want me in the way that humans do
Touch me, touch me
Show me that you’re human too

What is your preoccupation?
Do you need an invitation
To find what’s behind my door?
What’s in my imagination needs your participation
So what could you be waiting for?

Don’t you know that I’m only human?
Don’t you know a girl only waits so long?
Baby, if you want me in the way that humans do
Touch me, touch me
Show me that you’re human too

Oh, why can’t you see that your distraction’s
Sure to delay our satisfaction?
What will it take for you to take some action soon?

Don’t you know that I’m only human?
And it almost hurts ‘cause it feels so strong
Baby, if you want me in the way that humans do
Touch me, touch me
Show me that you’re human too
Feel me, hold me, take me, know me
Show me that you’re human too
