Natural Man (I'm A Natural Woman)
Ramona · Natural Woman [1977]
but we can't stay all night long
let's dance to one more song
hey, hey yeah
when I came, I felt so blue
from my first 'til I was through
I'm so glad that I found you
hey, hey yeah
you're a natural man, I'm a natural woman
it's simple and plain, with our natural love
can't find satisfaction talking lots of trash
I'm just looking for a natural man
you're a natural man, I'm a natural woman
nothing else to explain, with our natural love
can't find satisfaction spending lots of cash
I'm just looking for, baby yeah, a natural man
so I know well what's on your mind
I'm in love, but I'm not blind
so let us leave this place behind
hey, hey yeah
pay the waiter, take me home
you and me will be alone
let our love grow on and on
hey, yeah yeah ah
you're a natural man, I'm a natural woman
it's simple and plain, with our natural love
can't find satisfaction talking lots of trash
I'm just looking for a natural man
you're a natural man, I'm a natural woman
nothing else to explain, with our natural love
can't find satisfaction spending lots of cash
I'm just loking for, baby, a natural man
a natural, a natural, a natural man
a natural, a natural, a natural man
a natural, a natural, a natural man
a natural, a natural, a natural man
you're a natural man (natural man)
I'm a natural woman (natural woman)
it's simple and plain (natural man)
with our natural love
can't find satisfaction talking lots of trash
I'm just looking for a natural man
you're a natural man (natural man)
I'm a natural woman (natural woman)
nothing else to explain (natural man)
with our natural love, love, love, love
can't find satisfaction spending lots of cash
I'm just looking for a natural man
