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 tired.

Before the day I met you,


life was so unkind.

You’re the key

to my piece of mind

‘Cause 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,


till your kiss helped me name it


Now I’m no longer doubtful,


of what I’m livin’ 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 woman.


Oh baby, what ya done to me.


Made me feel so good inside.


And I just wanna be,


close to you, you make me feel so alive.

‘Cause you make me feel,

you make me feel,

you make me feel,

like a natural woman

‘Cause you make me feel,

you make me feel,

you make me feel,

like a natural woman

‘Cause you make me feel,

you make me feel,

you make me feel,

like a natural woman,

a natural woman
