Human Lyrics

Human

Come on, baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry
Won't you please forgive me?

I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes

So many nights I longed to hold you
So many times I looked and saw your face
Nothing could change the way I feel
No-one else could ever take your place

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes

I am just a man

Please forgive me

The tears I cry aren't tears of pain
They're only to hide my guilt and shame
I forgive you now I ask the same of you
While we were apart I was human too

I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
I am just a man
Human
Born to make mistakes

when you are in a long-distance relationship, especially as a teenager, its almost impossible to stay faithful. this seems to be the guilt of cheating on someone and trying to make them know that you love them more than everyone, but being cheated on is the worst feeling

Agree with above comments. Obvious lyrics. About cheating. And best part is "While we were apart I was human too ". Nice song.

This is obviously the signature song of The Human League especially when it entered the pop music. The song was obviously about someone asking for reparations for the sins of cheating and infidelity.

This song brings back soooooo many memories. Everytime I listen to this song it takes me back to when I was younger.

Nope. Sorry. I could forgive infidelity....

But rhyming "You" with "you" is indefensible.

Get out.

Go on.

OUT !

I mean it.

Go ON !

And i copied his hair !

Sadly for us both, i still do.

I bet nobody ever said to him though... "You were the one with the Tears For Fears hair weren't you"?

No. I seethed. It's Human League, not Tears For Fears.

Even Orzabal would object to the suggestion that he had Tears For Fears hair.

Could be worse i suppose.

My Interpretation

He's upset that he cheated on her while they were broken up, but she's not too upset because she cheated on him too. It's forgiveable because it happens.

I can't believe two rugged looking black guys wrote this masterpiece.
