[Verse 1: Lloyd Cole]
Come on, baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry
Won't you please forgive me
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: Lloyd Cole]
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
I'm only human
Born to make mistakes

[Verse 2: Lloyd Cole]
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: Lloyd Cole]
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
I'm only human
Born to make mistakes
Human
Human
[Interlude: Stephin Merrit]
The tears I cry aren't tears of pain
They're all 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: Lloyd Cole, Stephin Merrit]
Human
Human
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
I am just a man
I'm only human
Born to make mistakes

[Outro: Lloyd Cole]
I'm only human
I'm only human
