Jenny's got a nose ring and tattoo on her skin

All her friends are doin' it and she wants to fit in

It's not about rebellion, she just has a need

To feel like she belongs

Her mama takes one look at her and flies into a rage

Says, ""When you gonna grow up child and learn to act your age?""

But when a young girl's cry for attention

Lies beyond her mama's comprehension, it's just



Human beings being human

Not sure what they're doing

Trying to do the best they can

Just human beings being human

Every woman, child, and man



Harry's turning 49, his hair is turning gray

Now he's acting like he's longing for his glory days

He buys a Harley, dyes his hair, he's lifting weights

And wearing new cologne

His wife of 20 years is worried where it's gonna lead

Will he turn to someone else to fill his every need

Lately she's afraid he's gonna leave her

But he's just doing all he can to keep her it's just



Human beings being human

Not sure what they're doing

Trying to do the best they can

Just human beings being human

Every woman, child, and man



Sometimes we doubt sometimes we fear

Often wonder why we're here

And when we do

It helps to understand it's just



Human beings being human

Not sure what they're doing

Trying to do the best they can

Just human beings being human

Every woman, child, and man



(Human beings being human)

Not sure what we're doing

Trying to do the best we can

Just human beings being human

Every woman, child, and man

(Human beings being human)

Not sure what we're doing

Trying to do the best
