(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired

And when I knew I'd have to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired

Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
Your love was the key to my peace of mind


[Chorus]
'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman

[Verse 2]
Oh, 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
'Cause if I make you happy I don't need to do more

[Chorus]
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman
[Bridge]
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 wanna be (wanna be)
Close to you, you make me feel so alive

[Chorus]
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
