Everybody's got, A pain inside. Imaginary wounds, They fight to hide. How can I hate them? When everybody's got a pulse. I dream in a world, That wants my soul. That tells me if I hate, I can control. But I don't believe it. I cannot conceive it. Cause everybody's got a pulse I am human, I am love and my heartbeats with my blood. Love will always win Underneath the skin. Everybody's got a pulse. Once again I hang my head to cry. I can't find a reason why they died. We will find the answer, Blowing in the wind. Everybody's got a pulse. I am human, I am love and my heartbeats with my blood. Love will always win underneath the skin. Everybody's got a pulse. Who ya gonna hate now When there is no one left but you? Who ya gonna gun down If you can't feel the truth that is inside of us, inside our blood inside our pulse. I am human, I am love and my heartbeats with my blood. Love will always win underneath the skin. I am human, I am love and my heartbeats in my blood. Love will always win underneath the skin. I am human, I am love and my heartbeats in my blood. Love will always win underneath the skin. Everybody's got a pulse. I am human, I am love and my heartbeats with my blood. Love will always win underneath the skin. Everybody's got a pulse Everybody, everybody Hands up, hands up We're alive Love will always win Everybody's got a pulse.

They don't much care for you No they don't like your kind The way you look walk Or the way you talk The way you always speak your mind But you want to be my friend You're not anything like them You can show me things I've never seen You say ooo child what a waste if we never took a taste Of everything we find in between CHORUS Ooo you make me nervous Ooo you make me want to run away and hide Ooo you make me nervous When you look at me I just can't lie Ooo you make me nervous tonight Feels so wrong and feels so right feels like insanity I keep acting strange hoping that I'll change Waking in a sweat from a burning dream And then look at all my friends I keep on pleasing them Caught up in the chaos of their minds Ooo child the fear I have Keeps me bound and keeps me gagged Keeps me pushing harder all the time Ooo you make me nervous Ooo you make me want to run away and hide Ooo you make me nervous When you look at me I just can't lie I want to shovel all the blame I want to shoot out all the lights I want to call you names and start a fight Because you make me nervous tonight Heart pounds hands wet mouth dry I shake I scream I cry No eat no sleep all night I build my lonely cell with secrets I can't tell Frozen in my fright Ooo you make me nervous tonight You make me nervous You make me nervous You make me nervous Chorus
