Being Human

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 gonna 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
