Oooh yeah
Oooh yeah yeah
Oh, baby

As sure as the air that I breathe
Your love is all that I need
I can't live without your love
No lady, no baby, yeah

'Cause it feels like heaven when I'm with you, please come back to me
(It feels like heaven baby)
'Cause these tears in my eyes, I can't disguise, please come back to me

I'm only human
Born to make mistakes
I'm only human
Born to make mistakes

Now I was a fool to leave you
'Cause you were my best friend
And I would come running from miles away
Just to see your face again

'Cause it feels like heaven when I'm with you, please come back to me
(To me)
'Cause these tears in my eyes, I can't disguise, please come back to me
(It feels like heaven baby)

I'm only human
Born to make mistakes

Born to make mistakes, yeah
C'mon babe

No matter how I try to tell you
Baby I can't live without your love
And in your thoughts I'm sure you'll find
That you and I will never be apart

I'm only human
Born to make mistakes
I'm only human
Born to make mistakes

I'm only human
Born to make mistakes
I'm only human
Born to make mistakes

They don't know what you mean to me
Please don't give up on us
We can try (we can try) to make it better
