I’m Only Human Lyrics

[Verse 1: Phonte]
Come on, baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry
Please forgive me, baby...listen...
I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness

[Chorus: Phonte]
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes

[Verse 2: Phonte]
So many nights I've longed to hold you
So many times I looked and saw your face
Nothin' could change the way I feel
No one else could ever take your place

[Chorus: Phonte, Carlitta Durand]
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes
(I am just a man)
Human
Human
Please forgive me
[Interlude: Carlitta Durand]
The tears I cry aren't tears of pain
They're only to hide my guilt and shame
I forgive you, now I ask the same of you
While we were apart, I was human, too

[Chorus: Phonte, Carlitta Durand]
(Human)
(Human)
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made (I am just a man)
Human
Born to make mistakes
(Just like you, yes I do, yeah)
Human
(Please forgive me, yeah, oh, whoa-oh, hey)
Human
(Yeah, oh-whoa-oh-oh, hey)

[Interlude: Phonte]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Outro: Phonte, Phonte & Carlitta Durand]
Now that I'm here with you
And we both know the truth
Can you love me, baby?
Now that I'm here with you
And we both know the truth
Can you love me, baby? Ooh
Baby, you're my superstar
I love you as you are, if you'll take me as I am

Can you take me as I am?
Baby, you're my superstar
I love you as you are, if you'll take me as I am

I stand before you, guilty as sin
Still I am in love with you, baby
Baby, just take me
Baby, you're my superstar
I love you as you are, if you'll take me as I am

If you'll take me, baby—take me (Come and take me)
Oh, take me (Come and take me)
Ooh, take me (Come and take me)
Ooh, take me (Come and take me)
Ooh, take me (Come and take me)
Oh, take me (Come and take me)
Ooh, take me (Come and take me)
Ooh, take me (Come and take me)
Ooh, take me, baby, baby

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
