The Pretenders : "Human"

 

I play a good game,
but not as 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...

CHORUS:
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...

CHORUS

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
