Karaoké A Natural Man Lou Rawls

You know there was a time when if someone told

You to do somethin' you did it

Bam right on no questions asked

It was yes sir and yes mam' you never said no you know, uh

But you know things are changing

Nowadays it's a new day babies

Folks wanna take their own lives in their hands and make their own choices

No longer do they wanna go along with the program

'Cos everybody say it's right

You know what I mean let me tell ya what

I'm talkin' about ya see 'cos

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

While the boss is guzzling champagne and I'm beltin' beer in some dive

'Cos 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 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

'Cos I want to be happy and free livin' and lovin' for me

I want to be happy and free

Livin' and lovin' for me

Just like a natural man

I said 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 fake it

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

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

'Cos I want to be happy and free livin' and lovin' for me

I want to be happy and free

Livin' and lovin' for me

Just like a natural man a natural man

Just like a natural man my feet are on the ground

My soul is searchin' for the sky like a natural man

No more yes sir no more yes mam'
