[Intro]
Why?
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
[Verse 2]
Reaching out to touch a stranger
Electric eyes are еverywhere
See that girl, shе knows I'm watching
She likes the way I stare
[Chorus]
If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)
Just tell them that it's human nature
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
If they say why (She's giving in by keeping him around, why?), why (Why?)
Tell them that it's human nature
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
[Post-Chorus]
I like livin' this way
I like lovin' this way
[Bridge]
(That way) Why? Oh, why?
(That way) Why? Oh, why?
[Verse 3]
Looking out across the morning
The city's heart begins to beat
I'm reaching out, I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
[Chorus]
If they say why (Why?), why (Why?)
Cha-da-cha-sha-sha-sha-sha-sha
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
If they say why (She's giving in by keeping him around, why?), why (Why?)
Ooh-ooh, tell 'em
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
If they say why (Why?), why (Why?), why (Why?)
Ooh-ooh, tell 'em (Ah-ah)
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
If they say why (She's giving in by keeping him around, why?), why (Why?), why (Why?)
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Why (Why?), why (Why?) does he do me that way?
I like living this way
[Outro]
Why? Oh, why? (That way)
Why? Oh, why? (That way)
Why? Oh, why? (That way)
