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 But your 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 Till your kiss helped me name it Now 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 woman Oh, baby, what you've done to me You make me feel so good inside And I just want to 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 woman You make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman You make me feel You make me feel
