For millions of years, In millions of homes
A man loved a woman, A child it was born
It learned how to hurt and it learned how to cry
Like Humans Do
I'm breathin' in
I'm breathin' out
Ohhh!
So slip inside this funky house
Ohhh!
Dishes in the sink
TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin'
Like Humans Do
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin'
Like Humans Do
I work & I sleep & I dance & I'm dead
I'm eatin', I'm laughin', I'm loving myself
We're eatin' off plates and
We kiss with our tongues
Like Humans Do
I'm breathin' in
I'm breathin' out
Ohhhhhh!
So slip inside this funky house
Ohhhhhh!
Dishes in the sink
TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin'
Like Humans Do
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin'
Like Humans Do
I'm breathin' in
I'm breathin' out
Ohhhhhh!
So slip inside this funky house
Ohhhhhh!
Wiggle while you work
Anybody can
The rain is pouring in
on a woman & a man
I'm achin'
I'm shakin'
I'm breakin'
Like Humans Do
I'm breathin' in
I'm breathing out
Ohhh!
