Lyrics:
Some boys kiss me
Some boys hug me
I think they're ok
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away
They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light (that's right)
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right
'Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Some boys romance
Some boys slow dance
That's all right with me
If they can't raise my interest then I
Have to let them be
Some boys try and some boys lie but
I don't let them play (no way)
Only boys who save their pennies
Make my rainy day
'Cause we're living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Boys may come and boys may go
And that's all right you see
Experience has made me rich
And now they're after me
'Cause everybody's living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
Living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
A material, a material, a material, a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world
Living in a material world (material)
Living in a material world

![Madonna - Human Nature (Howie Tee Clean Remix Radio Edit)
Human Nature is the fourth and final single by American singer-songwriter Madonna from her sixth studio album Bedtime Stories, released on June 6, 1995 by Maverick Records.
Human Nature was written in response to the public backlash involving Madonnas previous album, Erotica, and her coffee table book, Sex. The songs lyrics contain sarcastic backing vocals with Madonna asking rhetorical questions based on her real-life actions, such as Did I say something wrong? Oops, I didnt know I couldnt talk about sex. I must have been crazy, as well as the line What was I thinking? This is backed up by the repeated phrase Express yourself, dont repress yourself, along with Madonnas affirmation of having no regrets over showing off her fantasies and exclaiming that she is not the one with the problem and her detractors should deal with it, because it is human nature.
Madonnas record label wanted to release a more radio-friendly pop track for the fourth single off the album, Dont Stop, but Madonna wanted to release Human Nature instead and ended up getting her wish.[citation needed] The song itself is a powerful R&B anthem over a heavily hip-hop flavored beat. The song also samples What You Need as performed by hip-hop group Main Source.
While Human Nature became Madonnas second consecutive single not to enter the top 40 in the U.S. (peaking at number forty-six), it still was a smash on the dance and club charts.
It also entered the top ten on several charts around the world including the UK, Italy, and Japan. In the UK the single entered the chart and peaked at #8. The UK single cover was a shot of Madonna from the video, clad in PVC and leather and sitting on a chair. The cover shot for the U.S. version is from a photo shoot by Bettina Rheims for the December 1994 issue of Details magazine.
Madonna has performed Human Nature twice on tour, first by slow-riding a mechanical bull on her 2001 Drowned World Tour adding some vocoder voice effects, and in her Sticky & Sweet Tour in 2008 with an electric guitar, also adding vocoder voice effects on the background harmonies, with a video backdrop of Britney Spears trapped in an elevator. It also adds the line Its Britney, bitch at the end of the song. Spears made a guest appearance co-performing the song with Madonna on November 6, 2008 during her concert date in Los Angeles.
