Only Human
Morgan Page Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only human..only human...human.

Get out and say it's fine.
You want a beat to grind.
You want some words that rhyme,
Want lies to make you blind.

I'll break you, then I'm gone.

I'll take you, I'll take you.
That's what I came here for
To use you, abuse you.

After all we're only human, only human,
Flesh and blood, we're only human, only human.
After all we're only human, only human,
Flesh and blood, we're only human, only human.

You've got that urge again,
Those urges always win.
Don't fight, it feels so right..
Let's go, we've got all night.

I'll take you, then I'm gone,
I'll break you, I'll break you.

That's what I came here for,
To use you, abuse you.

After all we're only human, only human,
Flesh and blood, we're only human, only human.
After all we're only human, only human,
Flesh and blood, we're only human, only human.

You can't handle me..
I'm gonna tame you, Oh Oh
Abuse you..

After all we're only human, only human,
Flesh and blood, we're only human, only human.
After all we're only human, only human,
Flesh and blood, we're only human, only human.

Only human..human..

You can't handle me...
Only human..only ..only human.
