ALMOST HUMAN
Gene Simmons
Rhy. ig 1
Ahh, ha
Riff 1
Rhy. ig 1 w/ Rhy. ig 2
Rhy. ig 1
I'm almost human, can't help feelin' strange
The moon is out, I think I'm gonna change
Rhy. ig 3a w/ Rhy. ig 3b
You're so smooth and tender, a living, breathing dream
I've got to have you, baby, I'm listenin' for your scream
Rhy. ig 1
I'm almost human, I'm almost a man
I'm almost human, ooh
Rhy. ig 1
I'm almost human, baby please don't run away
Riff 2
'Cause wherever you run I'll be a scream away
Rhy. ig 3a w/ Rhy. ig 3b
I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of
Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love
Rhy. ig 1
I'm almost human, oh, almost a man
Rhy. ig 4
I'm almost human, whoo
Solo over Rhy. ig 1
Rhy. ig 3a w/ Rhy. ig 3b and Riff 3
I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of
Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love
Rhy. ig 1
(repeat and fade)
I'm almost human, I'm almost a man
I'm almost human, I'm almost human
I'm almost human, I'm almost human
I'm almost human, almost, almost, almost a man
I'm almost human
Almost, almost, almost, almost, almost, almost human
I'm almost human, I'm almost human
I'm almost human, almost a man
I'm almost human, almost, almost, almost
I'm almost human
