Show your love for one of the greatest songs ever written

"(You make me feel like) a natural woman"

Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin, made legendary by Aretha Franklin and sung by many other great (and not so great) singers.

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to my peace of mind

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me feel so alive

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

Gerry Goffin's lyrics were perfect, Carole King is a musical composing genius and Jerry Wexler helped to put it altogether for Aretha who took it home vocally. Everyone else pales by comparison! clapping
