I'm Only Human Lyrics

What can I do

What can I do

What can I do

I've been away now for twenty-one days

And every day now seems like twenty-one nights

So if I play now, don't turn me away

For if I knew how, then I'd turn and I'd stay

I'm only human and I must because

I'd be a new man, but I can't because

I'm only human, not a true man

So, what can I do, what can I do

You see the front door, all carpets and lights

You see the back door, and the cold of the night

You see a small room, we're five to a bed

Well, don't you know, man

We can't sing when we're dead

I'm only human, yeah, the same as you

Don't make me do, man, what you wouldn't do

I'm only human, not a new man

So what can I do, what can I do

What can I do

What can I do

What can I do?

You hear the slight call of the whistling wolf

You feel the sharp teeth of the verbal cats

You try to walk tall, on questioning mats

We may be different, but we sure ain't rats!

I'm only human, yeah, the same as you

Don't make me do, man, what you wouldn't do

I'm only human, not a new man

So what can I do, what can I do, yeah!

I'm only human and I must because

I'd be a new man, but I can't because

I'm only human, not a true man

So what can I do, what can I do

What can I do

I'm only human

Oh-oh-oh, ahh ahh ahh

Yeah, I'm only human
