Did you ever look sideways at your best friend's wife?
Ever consider that sweet married life.
Your mind runs riot, you know who you are;
Ever get the feeling that you move too far.

The downward pull of human nature,
Coming to take you on;
It's just the downward pull of human nature,
Coming to take you by the storm.

Ever get so drunk that you fell without falling?
Did you feel that six foot destiny just calling you home.
Do you ever hear that siren roar in the night;
Find that you were wrong, trying to believe that you were right.

It's the downward pull of human nature,
It's coming to try you on;
It's just the downward pull of human nature,
Coming trying to take your soul by the storm.
- Here it comes.

Did you ever go crazy, and try to hurt the one you love?
The very next day, you had to beg for forgiveness from the power.
You know your pride will always be your fall;
You know one day, your will will wither like a flower in the dawn.

Downward pull of human nature,
It's coming to try you on;
It's just that downward pull of human nature,
It's coming trying to take your heart by the storm.

Oh yesterday, looking sideways at your best friend's wife.
I know you never considered the joys of that sweet married life.
I saw your mind run riot, remember who you are;
I know the feeling when you've gone a step too far.

It's just the downward pull of human nature,
It's coming every day to take you on;
It's just that downward pull of human nature,
Coming to take you by the storm.

Just that downward pull of human nature,
Coming to try it on;
The downward pull of human nature,
Just trying to take you by the storm.

Just the downward pull,
Just the downward pull,
Downward pull of human nature,
Coming to try you on...
