You're Only Human (second Wind) Lyrics - Billy Joel

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah 

Ooh, ooh, ooh 

You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good 

You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood 

It's alright, it's alright 

Sometimes that's what it takes 

You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes 

(Only human, ooh, ooh) 

You better believe there will be times in your life 

When you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool (oh) 

So take it from me you'll learn more from you accidents 

Than anything you could ever learn at school 

Don't forget your second wind 

Sooner or later you'll get your second wind 

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

It's not always easy to be living in this world of pain 

You're gonna be crashing into stone walls again and again 

It's alright, it's alright 

Though you feel your heart break 

You're only human, you're gonna have to deal with heartache 

(Only human, ooh, ooh) 

Just like a boxer in a title fight 

You got to walk in that ring all alone (oh) 

You're not the only one who's made mistakes 

But they're the only things that you can truly call your own 

Don't forget your second wind 

Wait in your corner until that breeze blows in 

You've been keeping to yourself these days 

'Cause you're thinking everything's gone wrong 

Sometimes you just want to lay down and die 

That emotion can be so strong 

But hold on 

Till that old second wind comes along 

Photos 

Ooh, ooh, ooh 

(Only human, ooh, ooh) 

(Only human) 

You probably don't want to hear advice from someone else, no 

But I wouldn't be telling you if I hadn't been there myself, mmm 

It's alright, it's alright 

S-s-sometimes that's all it takes, haha 

We're only human 

We're supposed to make mistakes 

(Only human, ooh, ooh) 

I survived all those long lonely days 

When it seemed I did not have a friend (oh) 

Cause all I needed was a little faith 

So I could catch my breath and face the world again 

Don't forget your second wind 

Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in 

One more time 

Don't forget your second wind, wooh 

Sooner or later you'll feel that momentum kick in 

Don't forget your second wind 

(Only human, ooh, ooh) 

Don't forget your second wind 

Mmm, that second wind 

(Only human, ooh, ooh) 

Mmm, yeah
