Lyrics
It’s only natural
That I think you ought to know
It’s understandable
That you are to be told
I know, oh yeah I
I say what’s only natural to me
And when you ask me what it is that’s on my mind
I shouldn’t tell you just how I feel inside
But no, no no I
I say what I am gonna say
I say what I am gonna say to you
It’s the way I talk
It’s the way I move
You can see it’s only me
It’s the way I am
It’s the way I’ll be
Its natural to me
Wooah Wooah Wooah
Wooah
Right from the start I told you what it would be like
But you only listened once no time for second thoughts
And you never tried
To understand the way I feel inside
And you say it’s different now
And things that I say hurt
Ohh
But I can’t stop myself
From doing what I do
Cause I tried to tell you
Tell you what it would be like
What it would be like right from the start
It’s the way I talk
It’s the way I move
You can see it’s only me
It’s the way I am
It’s the way I’ll be
Its natural to me
Wooah Wooah Wooah
Wooah
And oh, (oh) oh yeah I
I say what’s only natural to me
It’s only natural
That I think you ought to know
It’s understandable
That you want to be told
I know, (oh) oh yeah I
I say what’s only natural
I say what’s only natural to me
It’s the way I talk
And the way I move
You can see it’s only me
It’s the way I am
It’s the way I’ll be
Its natural to me
Wooah Wooah Wooah
Wooah
Wooah Wooah Wooah
Wooah
