Lyrics: 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 I’m only human of flesh and blood I’m made Human, born to make mistakes 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 I’m only human of flesh and blood I’m made Human, born to make mistakes (I am just a man, human) Please forgive me The 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 I’m only human of flesh and blood I’m made (I am just a man) Human, born to make mistakes
