Lyrics: “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman”
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tiredBefore the day I met you, life was so unkind
But you’re the key to my peace of mind‘Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural womanWhen 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 itNow I’m no longer doubtful of what I’m living for
And 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 womanOh, baby, what you done to me?
You make me feel so good inside
And I just wanna be close to you
You make me feel so aliveYou make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural womanYou make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman
