“A Natural Woman” Lyrics
Looking out on the morning rain,
I used to feel uninspired.
And when I knew I’d have to face another day,
Lord, it made me feel so tired.
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind.
Your love was the key to my peace of mind.
‘Cause you make me feel, you make me feel,
You make me feel like a natural woman.
When my soul was in the lost and found,
You came along to claim it.
I didn’t know just what was wrong with me
‘Til your kiss helped me name it.
Now I’m no longer doubtful of what I’m living for
‘Cause if I make you happy, I don’t need to do more.
‘Cause you make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman.
Oh, baby, what ya done to me? (what ya done to me)
You made me feel so good inside (good inside).
And I just wanna be (wanna be).
Close to you, you make me feel so alive.
You make me feel, you make me feel,
You make me feel like a natural (natural) woman.
You make me feel, you know you make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman…
You make me feel, you make me feel,
You make me feel like a natural woman.
