Michael Jackson - Human Nature (Bad Tour Yokohama)

Written by Steve Porcaro and John Bettis. Porcaro recorded a rough demo on a cassette, which fellow Toto band David Paitch put three songs on for Quincy Jones to listen to, as possibles for THRILLER.
Quincy didn't like Paitch's songs, but he did like the rough demo of Human Nature at the end of the tape, and asked if he could use it.

Last song selected for THRILLER, issued in December 1982, it ousted "Carousel" from the final track listing.

human Nature - Lyrics

Looking out
Across the night-time
The city winks a sleepless eye
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
2nd verse
Get me out
Into the night-time
Four walls wont hold me tonight
If this town
Is just an apple
Then let me take a bite

Chorus
If they say -
Why, why, tell em that is human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say -
Why, why, tell em that is human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way

3rd verse
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are evrywhere
See that girl
She knows Im watching
She likes the way I stare

Chorus
If they say -
Why, why, tell em that is human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say -
Why, why, tell em that is human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
I like livin this way
I like lovin this way
(instrumental section)
4th verse
Looking out
Across the morning
The citys heart begins to beat
Reaching out
I touch her shoulder
Im dreaming of the street

Chorus
If they say -
Why, why, tell em that is human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
If they say -
Why, why, tell em that is human nature
Why, why, does he do me that way
I like livin this way

(repeat chorus - ad-lib/fade-out)
