A Natural Man - Lou Rawls

I don’t want no gold watch for working fifty years from nine till five

While the boss is guzzling champagne and I’m belting 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 thinking 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 you see me walking, 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

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)

Huh, 'cause I’m a natural man (just like a natural man)

I’m a natural man (just like a natural man)
