[Verse 1]
Come on, baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never wanna see you cry

[Pre-Chorus]
I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness

[Chorus]
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
I'm only human
Born to make mistakes

[Verse 2]
So many nights I longed to hold you
So many times I looked and saw your face
Nothing could change the way I feel
No one else could ever take your place

[Chorus]
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
I'm only human
Born to make mistakes
(I am just a man)
Human, oh, oh, oh
Human

[Interlude]
These tears I cry aren't tears of pain
They're only to hide my guilt and shame
I forgive you, now I ask the same of you
While we were apart, I was human too

[Chorus]
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
(I am just a man)
I'm only human
Born to make mistakes

[Verse 3]
So many nights I longed to hold you
So many times I looked and saw your face
Nothing could change the way I feel
No one else could ever take your place

[Outro]
Human, oh, oh, oh
Human
I'm only human, oh, oh, oh
I'm only human

Rick Springfield (born Richard Lewis Springthorne, 23 August 1949) is an Australian musician and actor. In his teenage years he lived in England where he joined various bands.

In 1973, he started performing for Columbia Records. He released his best-known hit, “Jessie’s Girl”, in 1981 in the album Working Class Dog, and continues recording music nowadays.
