Human Nature from Raw by Diana Jackson
My first official cover, woo! I love this song. It's much more recent than the other recordings. Being unsatisfied with my other versions, I just sat down the other day with my steel string (which I hadn't touched for months, er) and this came out. Something I'd never thought about is that when you officially cover a song, you don't just pay homage to something you love, but you become part of that song's history. And I'm so very proud to do that.
Recorded 30th May 2020.

Lyrics
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Sweet seducing sighs
Get me out
Into the nighttime
Four walls won't hold me tonight
If this town is just an apple
Let me take a bite
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why does he do me that way
Why does he do me that way?
If they say why
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why does he do me that way?
Do me that way?
Yeah
Reaching out
To touch a stranger
Electric eyes are everywhere
See that girl
She knows I'm watchin'
She likes the way I stare
Why tell 'em that is human nature
Why does he do me that way
Why does he do me that way?
Lookin' out across the morning
The city's heart begins to beat
Reachin' out I touch her shoulder
I'm dreaming of the street
Why
Why
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why does he do me that way?
Why does he do me
Do me that way?
Oh that way
Why-o-why
Tell 'em that is
Why
I think I messed that up so
Why
Tell 'em that is human nature
Why does he do me that way?
Way
Why
Chaka-Khan
I'm going to the disco now
Which is where I belong
