Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh When I was younger I asked my father "Why are we so human?" Now that I'm older I think I figured it out We're just doing what we can Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh 'Cause I won't I won't let you down I won't let you I won't, I won't let you down, oh now I won't, I won't let you down I won't let you I won't, I won't, I won't let you down When I was younger I told my mother I say, one day I'm gonna make you proud
