You're trying to cover up the big disgrace
I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah"
Oh, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
And if I've got to dream
Because you're liable to lose it
I'm a human being
On the best lovin' you've had yet
And you see just what I mean, I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah"
Never what they seem
But I can color that with mystery
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
And you know they're never real, they're
'Cause I'm a human, a riff raff human being
I said, "Well, I'm a human being"
Don't you know that I'm a human being
While I'm blowing my change on the fan magazines
Don't you know that I'm a human being
I said, "Well I'm a human being"
I will never ever forget?
I'm a human being
And if I want too many things
From machine to machine
Go ahead, find yourself a saint
Why don't you try me on a drag of that cigarette?
And when it gets a bit obscene
And if I'm acting like a king
And you can try to generate some warmth
With all the Hollywood refugees screaming, "Yeah, yeah, oh yeah"
If I've got to dream
And if I'm acting like a king
But now don't you blow it all on a million dollar bet
I'm a human being
Well, that's cause I'm a human being
Now what you need is
I'm a human being
Every little thing that I see
Or make it just what I want it to be
Don't you know that I'm a human being
And I can hold my head so high
In fact I'm talking about the human race
Baby, baby, baby, I'm a human being
Well, I may think that this whole scene is
Who's gonna be what I ain't
Go ahead, now try to find a boy
And when it gets a bit obscene
Why don't you try to give me something that
And I've got to go around with my head hung down
Well, if you don't like it
And I see you bouncing around
And if I'm acting like a king
You're really making a scene
With your new friend
Or I may be the type who's just a mad about
I want too many things
Just like a human, babe, an unknown human being
And if I've got to dream
I'm a human being
And when it gets a bit obscene
'Cause I'm a human, a riff raff human being
I'm a human being
Who's gonna sit through the madness
And always acts so quaint, I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah"
A plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint
I'm beggin' yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Why won't you give me a little sip?
And if I want too many things
And I've just got to go around with my head hung down
Baby baby baby yeah I'm a human being
Well, that's 'cause I'm a human being
And I can hold my head so high
Just like a human, babe an unknown human being
Just a too appalling for me
