Lyrics New York Dolls - Human Being

One, two, three four
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
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
And what you need is a plastic doll with a fresh
coat of paint
Who's gonna sit through all the madness always,
act so quaint,
I said - a. Oh yeah, well - a.

Verse 2:
It's your new friend, you're really
Making a scene, and I've seen you
Bouncing around, from machine to machine
But you know that

Chorus 2:
They're never really
Never really what they seem, and you can

count on
Generate some warmth, then you'll
See just what I mean, oh baby, baby, baby yeah.

Verse 3:
Then if I'm acting like a king, don't you know

it's 'cause
I'm a human being, and if I
Want too many things, don't you know it's 'cause
I'm a human being

Verse 4:
And if I've got to dream, don't you know it's 'cause
I'm a human being, and well if
It's a bit obscene, don't you know it's 'cause
I'm a human being

Chorus 3:
I don't gotta walk around with my head on down
Just like a human, oh no a human being
I can hold my head so high
Just like a human, a real proud human being.

Verse 5:
Won't you give me a little sip why won't you give me a
Drag of that cigarette, why don't you
Try to give me something, that I'll
Never ever forget, but now

Chorus 4:
Could you blow it all, on a
Million dollar bet, because you're
Liable to lose it on a
Best lovin' you've had yet, oh baby baby, oh yeah.

Verse 6:
As Verse 3.

Verse 7:
As Verse 4.

Chorus 5:
As Chorus 3.

Verse 8:
It's like I'm talkin' 'bout the human race
You're tryin' to cover up a big disgrace
Baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on, come on, come on

Verse 9:
Well I may think that this whole scene is just a
Too appalling for me
Well, I may be the type who's just mad about
Funny little thing that I see, but I can

Chorus 6:
Colour that with history, and make it
Just what I want it to be, well I'm
Blowin' my change on the fan magazines, with all the
Hollywood refugees, oh baby baby oh yeah.
