  • If you ever get close to a human
    And human behavior
    Be ready, be ready to get confused

    There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
    To human behavior
    But yet so, yet so irresistible

    And there is no map

    They're terribly, terribly, terribly moody
    Oh, human behavior
    Then all of a sudden turn happy

    But, oh, to get involved in the exchange
    Of human emotions
    Is ever so, ever so satisfying

    Oh, oh, and there is no map

    Human behavior, human
    Human, human behavior, human
    Human, human behavior, human
    Human behavior, human

    And there is no map
    And the compass
    Wouldn't help at all

    Human behavior, human, human
    Human behavior, human
    Human behavior, human
    Human behavior

    There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic (human, human, human behavior)

    Human (human behavior)
    Human (human, human behavior)
    Human

    There's definitely, definitely, definitely no logic
