Human Lyrics
I play a good game,
but not good as you
I can be a little cold, but you can be so cruel
I'm not made of brick, I'm not made of stone
But I had you fooled enough
to take me on
If love was a war, it's you who has won
While I was confessing it, you held your tongue
Now the damage is done...
Well there's blood in these veins
And I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks can deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I thought you'd come through,
I thought you'd come clean
You were the best thing I should never have seen
But you go to extremes, you push me too far
Then you keep going 'til you break my heart
Yeah, you break my heart
See I bleed and I bruise, oh, but what's it to you
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks could deceive,
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I'm only human on the inside
I stumble and fall, baby, under it all
I'm only human on the inside
And the damage is done...
Well there's blood in these veins
And I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks can deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I stumble and fall, baby, I do it all
I'm only human on the inside

I have fond memories of this song in Rob Thomas' tragically short-lived TV series Cupid. It's a long shot, but I hope the show's latest incarnation for 08/09 uses the same song! I think The Pretenders' version of this song is infinitely better than the Divinyls' original. Then again, the Divinyls didn't have Chrissie Hynde rocking for 'em!
This is the song in the trailers for 'The Good Girl'. Great song and great movie.
the end guitar rif is awesome. I wish it lasted longer
Crissy Hinde´s voice stills beautiful and sexy. A great song.
i actually love this song ... whenever i'm having a crap day, or an argument, or relationship problems, i put it on repeat and it weirdly cheers me up.
Believe or not this song was written by "The Divinyls" who I thought had only "I Touch Myself".
This is not Human !
