Lyrics

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 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 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

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 done to me?

You make me feel so good inside

And I just 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 woman

You make me feel

You make me feel

You make me feel like a natural woman
