Consider this, consider that, consider this

You’ve got to consider this and that

Consider this, consider this

Consider this, consider this

Did you ever look sideways at your best friend’s wife?

Ever consider that sweet married life

Your mind run riot, you know who you are

Ever get the feeling that you move too far

The downward pull of human nature

Coming to take you home

And just the downward pull of human nature

Coming to take you by a storm

Ever get so drunk that you fell without falling?

Did you feel that six foot destiny just calling you home

Do you ever hear that siren roar in the night

Find that you were wrong, try to believe that you were right

It’s the downward pull of human nature

It’s coming to try you on

It’s just the downward pull of human nature

Coming trying to take your soul by a storm

Here it comes

Did you ever go crazy, and try to hurt the one you love?

Very next day, you had to beg for forgiveness from the power

You know your pride will always be your fall

You know one day, your will, will wither like a flower in the dawn

Downward pull of human nature

It’s coming to try you on

It’s just that downward pull of human nature

It’s coming, trying to take your heart by the storm

Oh yesterday, looking sideways at your best friend’s wife

I know you never considered the joys of that sweet married life

I saw your mind run riot, remember who you are

I know the feeling when you’ve gone a step too far

It’s just the downward pull of human nature

It’s coming every day to take you on

It’s just that downward pull of human nature

Coming to take you by a storm

Just that downward pull of human nature

Coming to try it on

The downward pull of human nature

Just trying to take you by a storm

Just the downward pull

Just the downward pull

Downward pull of human nature

Coming to try you on
