Billy Joel - You're Only Human (Second Wind) lyrics

Ooh ooh yeah ooh
You're having a hard time and lately
You don't feel so good
You're getting a bad reputation
In your neighborhood

(It's alright) It's alright
Sometimes that's what it takes
(You're only human) You're allowed
To make your
Share of mistakes (Only human ooh ooh)

You better believe there will be
Times in your life
When you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool
So take it from me you'll
Learn more from your accidents
Than anything that you could
Ever learn at school
Don't forget your second wind
Sooner or later you'll get your second wind

Ooh ooh yeah
It's not always easy to be living
In this world of pain
You're gonna be crashing into stone
Walls again and again

(It's alright) It's alright though you
Feel your heart break
(You're only human) You're gonna have
To deal with heartache (You're only human)

Just like a boxer in a title fight
You got to walk in that ring all alone
(Oh oh oh oh)
You're not the only one who's made mistakes
But they're the only thing that you
Can truly call your own

Don't forget your second wind
Wait in that corner until
That breeze blows in

You've been keeping to yourself these days
'Cause you're thinking everything's
Gone wrong
Sometimes you just want to lay down and die
That emotion can be so strong but hold on
'Til that old second wind comes along
(Only human ooh ooh, Only human)

You probably don't want to hear
Advice from someone else
But I wouldn't be telling you if
I hadn't been there myself
(It's alright) It's alright
S-sometimes that's what it takes hahaha
We're only human
We're supposed to make mistakes
(Only human ooh ooh)

But I survived all those long lonely days
(Oh oh oh oh)
When it seemed I did not have a friend
'Cause all I needed was a little faith
So I could catch my breath
And face the world again

Don’t forget your second wind
Sooner or later you’ll feel
That momentum kick in one more time
Don’t forget your second wind
Sooner or later you’ll feel
That momentum kick in

Don’t forget your second wind
(Only human ooh ooh)
Don’t forget your second wind (only human)
Second wind don’t forget your second wind
(Only human ooh ooh, Only human)
