Man! I Feel Like a Woman! - Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox

Looking out on the morning rain I used to feel 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 you were 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 fell so alive Cause you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman Cause you make me feel You make me feel You make me feel like a natural woman

I guess I just feel like I guess I just feel like Nobody's honest Nobody's true Everyone's lying To make it on through I guess I just feel like I'm the same way too I guess I just feel like Good things are gone And the weight of my worries Is too much to take on I think I remember This dream that I had This love's gonna save us From a world that's gone mad I guess I just feel like What happened to that I guess I just feel like The joke's getting old The future is fading And the past is on hold But I know that I'm open And I know that I'm free And I'll always let hope in Wherever I'll be And if I go blind I'll still find my way I guess I just felt like Giving up today

To deserve the love of a woman like you Ewwwhhh... A woman like you... A sweet woman like you... Yeah a woman like you... Yeah to deserve a woman like you...
