Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel 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
But 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

And 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 living for
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more

You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman

Oh baby what you've done to me
(What you've done to me)
You make me feel so good inside
(Good inside)
And I just want to 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 know you
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman

Natural woman
