Don't cry baby, rest your weary head,
Don't cry mama, daddy didn't mean what he said.
Wake up baby, its a brand new day,
Wake up mama, I think he's gone away,
And it's always on my mind... we're only human.

What do you want, it's more than I can give,
Man I'm just a human being.

What makes a man bruise his loving wife,
What makes a man want to take his own life,
And it's always on my mind... we're only human.

What do you want, it's more than I can give,
Man I'm just a human being.

I wish I'd been to Woodstock,
Or written Wild Thing,
I wish I'd shot the pope dead,
Or killed a foreign king,
And it's always on my mind... we're only human.
