You say you're gonna come by later but ya never come by
Then you follow with a phone call tellin' me a thousand reasons why
I've been a fool and I know
I feel you slippin' away and I don't wanna end up alone

I've always big the bigshot pushin' everybody else around
I think I learned my lesson now, it's me who's fallin' down
My heart is hurtin' from the jealous state I'm in
Won't you give me a chance to start all over again

Cuz that's the nature of the beast, keepin' up the male persona
That's the nature of the beast, keepin' up my status quota
Now the nature of the beast wants to give love and affection
Oh, the nature of the beast who doesn't want to end up alone

Thought my innocent face could hide my dark, elusive eyes
But now I think I know I'm commitin' an emotional homicide
Leavin' you alone had to be the worst thing I could do
Cuz look at me now, runnin' around like a fool

Yeah, that's the nature of the beast, keepin' up the male persona
That's the nature of the beast, keepin' up my status quota
Now the nature of the beast wants to give love and affection
Oh, the nature of the beast doesn't wanna end up alone
Oh no!
Don't wanna be alone!

Minute, minute, minute by minute, every second starts to cut
The longer I wait, I just get that more heated up
I gotta get you back if it's the last thing that I do
I'll change anything, I just can't live without you

Cuz that's the nature of the beast, keepin' up the male persona
That's the nature of the beast, keepin' up my status quota
Now the nature of the beast wants to give love and affection
Oh, the nature of the beast doesn't wanna end up alone
That's nature of the beast, keepin' up the male persona
The nature of the beast, keepin' up my status quota
Now the nature of the beast wants to give love and affection
Oh, the nature of the beast doesn't want to end up alone
