A Natural Man - Lou Rawls

作词：B. Hebb/Baron

作曲：B. Hebb/Baron

You know there was a time when if someone told you to

Do something you did it bam right on no questions asked

It was yes sir and yes mam you never said no you know huh

But you know things are changing nowadays it's a new day

Babies folks want to take their own lives into their hands and

Make their own choices no longer do they wanna go along with

The program 'cause everybody say it's right you know what I mean

Let me tell ya what I'm talking about ya see 'cause

I don't want no gold watch for workin' fifty years from nine till five

A-while the boss is guzzling champagne and I'm beltin' beer in some dive

'Cause I want to be happy and free

Living and loving for me

I want to be happy and free

Living and loving for me

Like a natural man like a natural man

A natural man like a natural man

Well now I refuse to listen to people's thinkin' that I live too high

I'm gonna taste it now before my one life streaks on by

'Cause I want to be happy and free

Living and loving for me

I want to be happy and free

Living and loving for me

Just like a natural man like a natural man

I said a natural man just like a natural man

Well now I tried to do what others say that I should do

They say that I should fit in fool 'em fake it well

Those kinda dues just make me crazy and blue

Man I just can't take it

So when ya see me walking won't ya notice that proud look in my eyes

My feet are on the ground and my soul is searching for the sky

'Cause I want to be happy and free

Living and loving for me

I want to be happy and free

Living and loving for me

Just like a natural man just like a natural man

A natural man just like a natural man

Just like a natural man just like a natural man

My feet are on the ground just like a natural man

My soul is searching for the sky just like a natural man

Like a natural man just like a natural man

No more yes sir just like a natural man

No more yes mam just like a natural man

'Cause I'm a natural man just like a natural man

I'm a natural man
