Reaching out, I touch her shoulder
If they say, why, why? Tell 'em that is human nature
Why, why does he do me that way?
Songwriters: John Bettis, Steve Porcaro
Why, why does he do me that way?
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Tell 'em that is human nature
The city winks a sleepless eye
Why, why does he do me that way?
Reaching out to touch a stranger
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Tell 'em that is human nature
If this town is just an apple
Why, why does he do me that way?
Then let me take a bite
Four walls won't hold me tonight
Publishers: JOHN BETTIS MUSIC, SONY/ATV TUNES LLC
Electric eyes are everywhere
Why, why does he do me that way?
Why, why does he do me that way?
Sweet seducing sighs
Get me out into the night-time
Looking out across the morning
If they say, why, why? Cha cha cha
Looking out across the night-time
If they say, why, why? Tell 'em that is human nature
See that girl, she knows I'm watching
I like livin' this way, I like lovin' this way
She likes the way I stare
I like livin' this way
Why, why does he do me that way?
If they say, why, why? Tell 'em that is human nature
If they say, why, why? Da da da
I'm dreaming of the street
If they say, why, why? Ooh, tell 'em
If they say why, why, why? Ooh, tell 'em
The city's heart begins to beat
If they say, why, why? Ooh, tell 'em
Hear her voice shake my window
Why, why does he do me that way?
