A Natural Man

You know, there was a time when

Someone told you to do something

You did it

Bam, right on, no questions asked

It was, yes sir and yes ma'am

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 in to their hands

And make their own choices

No longer do they want to go along with the program

'Cause everybody say it 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 working fifty years from nine to five

While the boss is guzzling champagne

And I'm belting beer in some dive

'Cause I want to be happy and free

Livin' and loving for me

I want to be happy and free

Livin' and lovin' for me

Like a natural man (Like a natural man)

A natural man (Like a natural man)

Well now

I refuse to listen to peoples' 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

Livin' and loving for me

I want to be happy and free

Livin' and lovin' 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 said that I should do

They said 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 you see me walkin'

Won't you 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

Livin' and loving for me

I want to be happy and free

Livin' and lovin' 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 ma'am (Just like a natural man)

'Cause I'm a natural man (Just like a natural man)

I'm a natural man (Just like a natural man)

A natural man
