Am I too bad? Am I too good?
Am I too mad? Or misunderstood?
Am I too late? Am I on time?
If I'm too early then tell me
I'll go home and come back tonight
Am I too old? Am I too young?
Am I too vain? Is she one?
All that I need?
Can I be good enough for her
when I am not good enough for me?

[Chorus]
Slowly, I have forgotten myself
forgotten my way
It's hard to be Human today

Am I too rich? Am I too poor?
Does this tattoo reflect
what is in my soul?
Am I too black? Or maybe too white?
Am I too proud to think
I might not be right?

[Chorus]
Slowly, I have forgotten myself
forgotten my way
It's hard to be human today
Slowly, I have forgotten myself
forgotten my way
It's hard to be human today

Am I too mean? Am I too nice? Am I too high?
Should I just get drunk? And start up a fight?
How about tonight?

Am I too strange? I talk to myself?
Am I deranged, because I have thought about killing myself?
Should I get help?
Am I too straight? Am I too gay?
Am I too pretty or ugly or freaky?
Do I sound cliché? Am I okay?

Tell me I'm good! Good enough for you!
Tell me I'm good! Good enough for you!
Tell the truth!

(Slowly, I have forgotten myself
forgotten my way
It's hard to be human today
Slowly, I have forgotten myself
forgotten my way
It's hard to be human today)

It's hard to be human today
It's hard to be human today
It's hard to be human... always
