Human Being Lyrics - Singles - New York Dolls

One, two, three, four 

Well, if you don't like it 

Go ahead, find yourself a saint 

Go ahead, now try to find a boy 

Who's gonna be what I ain't 

Now what you need is 

A plastic doll with a fresh coat of paint 

Who's gonna sit through the madness 

And always acts so quaint, I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah" 

With your new friend 

You're really making a scene 

And I see you bouncing around 

From machine to machine 

And you know they're never real, they're 

Never what they seem 

And you can try to generate some warmth 

And you see just what I mean, I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah" 

And if I'm acting like a king 

Well, that's cause I'm a human being 

And if I want too many things 

Don't you know that I'm a human being 

And if I've got to dream 

Baby baby baby yeah I'm a human being 

And when it gets a bit obscene 

I'm a human being 

And I've just got to go around with my head hung down 

Just like a human, babe, an unknown human being 

And I can hold my head so high 

'Cause I'm a human, a riff raff human being 

Why won't you give me a little sip? 

Why don't you try me on a drag of that cigarette? 

Why don't you try to give me something that 

I will never ever forget? 

But now don't you blow it all on a million dollar bet 

Because you're liable to lose it 

On the best lovin' you've had yet 

I'm beggin' yeah, yeah, oh yeah 

And if I'm acting like a king 

Well, that's 'cause I'm a human being 

I want too many things 

Don't you know that I'm a human being 

And if I've got to dream 

I said, "Well I'm a human being" 

And when it gets a bit obscene 

I'm a human being 

And I've got to go around with my head hung down 

Just like a human, babe an unknown human being 

And I can hold my head so high 

'Cause I'm a human, a riff raff human being 

In fact I'm talking about the human race 

You're trying to cover up the big disgrace 

I said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah" 

Oh, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon 

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah 

Well, I may think that this whole scene is 

Just a too appalling for me 

Or I may be the type who's just a mad about 

Every little thing that I see 

But I can color that with mystery 

Or make it just what I want it to be 

While I'm blowing my change on the fan magazines 

With all the Hollywood refugees screaming, "Yeah, yeah, oh yeah" 

And if I'm acting like a king 

I said, "Well, I'm a human being" 

And if I want too many things 

Don't you know that I'm a human being 

If I've got to dream 

Baby, baby, baby, I'm a human being 

And when it gets a bit obscene 

I'm a human being 

I'm a human being 

I'm a human being 

I'm a human being 

I'm a human being
