Being Human — текст песни (Michael Peterson)

(Tom Shapiro/Chuck Jones)

Jenny`s got a nose ring and tattoo on her skin
All her friends are doin` it and she wants to fit in
It`s not about rebellion, she just has a need
To feel like she belongs
Her mama takes one look at her and flies into a rage
Says, When you gonna grow up child and learn to act your age?
But when a young girl`s cry for attention
Lies beyond her mama`s comprehension, it`s just

Human beings being human
Not sure what they`re doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child, and man

Harry`s turning 49, his hair is turning gray
Now he`s acting like he`s longing for his glory days
He buys a Harley, dyes his hair, he`s lifting weights
And wearing new cologne
His wife of 20 years is worried where it`s gonne lead
Will he turn to someone else to fill his every need?
Lately she`s afraid he`s gonna leave her
But he`s just doing all he can to keep her, it`s just...

Human beings being human
Not sure what they`re doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child, and man

Sometimes we doubt, sometimes we fear
Often wonder why we`re here
Where do we fit in the plan
We`re all bound to make mistakes
And when we do
It helps to understand it`s just...

Human beings being human
Not sure what they`re doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child, and man

Human beings being human
Not sure what they`re doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child, and man
