Josh Tatum - I'm Only Human

A big ol' house and the crowds pourin' in
To celebrate the year's end and the new one begins, and
There's a line drawn between fakes and friends at this one

There's a car outside, he's waitin' for the right time
To make a grand appearance when comes inside
Should've left your politics in the car
'Cause this one's gone too far

It seems to me that the crowds not mixin'
Somebody's pretty teeth are gonna need a little fixin'
Hate to be a real hypocrite on this one
I'm only human and I'm not feelin' peacful

In the neighborhood you know it takes all kinds
Every couple blocks you find another group of wise guys
Something bad is in the air tonight, I'm feeling good

Just off the stairs not a surprise to me
A real slick looking type and he's looking at me
I know what's comin', I stay on my feet, but
I was headed out the door 'cause I got places to be

Slick steps up with a real cheesy smile
Lookin' for the kind of trouble I ain't seen in a while
His odds were good with 16 on 3
He sure looked scared to me

It seems to me that the crowds not mixin'
Somebody's pretty teeth are gonna need a little fixin'
Hate to be a real hypocrite on this one
I'm only human and I'm not feelin' peacful
