I am the son 

And the heir 

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar 

I am the son and heir 

Of nothing in particular



You shut your mouth 

How can you say 

I go about things the wrong way?

I am Human and I need to be loved 

Just like everybody else does 



I am the son 

And the heir 

Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar 

I am the son and heir 

Oh, of nothing in particular 



You shut your mouth 

How can you say 

I go about things the wrong way ?

I am Human and I need to be loved 

Just like everybody else does 



There's a club, if you'd like to go 

You could meet somebody who really loves you 

So you go, and you stand on your own 

And you leave on your own 

And you go home, and you cry 

And you want to die 



When you say it's gonna happen "now" 

Well, when exactly do you mean?

See I've already waited too long 

And all my hope is gone 



You shut your mouth 

How can you say 

I go about things the wrong way ?

I am Human and I need to be loved 

Just like everybody else does
