I’m Only Human

[Verse 1: Luther Vandross]
I'm only human, baby
Ain't I allowed to make mistakes?
You put your guilt on me
And it's causing my poor heart to break, yeah
Making me the human that I am

[Chorus: Bob James]
Won't you forgive me, baby
I'm only human, baby
Won't you forgive me for that?
Won't you forgive me, baby
I'm only human, baby
Won't you forgive me for that?

[Verse 2: Luther Vandross]
Your love can be so strong
It makes it hard to give some back
So I try and I try and I give and I give
And I get so darn excited I can't relax
Making me the human that I am

[Chorus: Bob James]
Won't you forgive me, baby
I'm only human, baby
Won't you forgive me for that?
Won't you forgive me, baby
I'm only human, baby
Won't you forgive me for that?

[Bridge: Luther Vandross]
When we search for love
We must be lucky, baby
And it's because there are many people in the world
Who think love is not that necessary
I had you and I blew it all

[Chorus: Bob James]
Won't you forgive me, baby
I'm only human, baby
Won't you forgive me for that?
Won't you forgive me, baby
I'm only human, baby
Won't you forgive me for that?

[Bridge: Luther Vandross]
And now I know for sure
I must be lucky, baby
You chose me out of all the people in the world
And I think love is very necessary
You've forgiven me after all
'Cause I let you know

[Chorus: Bob James]
Won't you forgive me, baby
I'm only human, baby
Won't you forgive me for that?
Won't you forgive me, baby
I'm only human, baby
Won't you forgive me for that?

[Outro: Luther Vandross]
Just like you, my love
Just like you, my baby
Only human, just like you, my love
Just like you, my baby
If you forgive, if you forgive me too
