Give me what I'm askin' for
  Stop bringin' me down or I'll slam the door
  You're getting out of line with the Beverly Boys
  You start makin' the moves they start makin'
  the noise
    You know you're not getting lucky
  livin' the life because you're movin' to
  the jungle and paying the price
  You're livin' right along with the
  New Brady Bunch
    Have your people call my people and let's do lunch
  Reaction to the actin there's more to me
  than human flesh
  I've had enough distractions I need some tenderness
    [CHORUS:]
  Human Tough I gotta know it's real
  I'm tired of people sellin' their sex appeal
  Human Touch I need human love
  no imitations of oh baby
    A bird in the busy is worth two in
  the street-you know the kind of people
  never want to meet you're sitting really
  pretty in your swimming pool with your
  rock 'n roll tan you keep thinkin' you're
  cool
    You know you can't reach Jesus on your
  portable phone he ain't speakin' to the people
  in their Hollywood homes with a toot
  in your snoot and your loot to boot
  you don't even give a hoot about the
  minds you pollute
    Lookin' for deceptions there's more to me
  than human flesh I'm finding new
  directions I need some tenderness!
    [CHORUS]
    I'm lookin' for the real thing there's more
  to me than human flesh I'm gonna
  stop at nothin'
    [CHORUS]
    You can't reach Alanis on her portable phone
  it'll be ringin' off the hook 'caus nobody's home...
