(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman

Aretha Franklin

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 you're the key to my peace of mind

'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman (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
'Til your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful, of what I'm living for
And if I make you happy I don't need to do more

'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like a natural woman (woman)

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

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

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

You make me feel
You make me feel

    I think this song is pretty straightforward. Its about finding the one, that makes it feel all worth it, that makes you feel whole, that changes everything. But the line that everyone knows "You make me feel, like a natural woman" is amazing in its simplicity and honesty. Because if someone has ever made you feel that way..that is the perfect way to describe it. Going through life there will be people that make you feel dumb, nerdy, prissy, manly, and just plain inadequate..and then all of a sudden someone comes along and you don't feel any of those things. You feel like you're just right. That you don't need to try, that you are a complete natural at BEING a woman. And its wonderful :)

    Wow, when I hear this song, I imagine that she sings about a very handsome sweet romantic man. That's why I love it.

    When I heard this song I thought to myself, "how wonderful would it be if all men did not mind a hairy vaj" The line "it made me feel so tired" had double meaning to me. One, she was either tired of shaving or two she was tired of not getting laid because of her lack of personal hygiene. A Natural Woman will be held close to my heart as a personal reminder to keep it clean down below because there are only a handful of men who appreciate a natural woman.

    The Song is offensive to transwoman, Aretha Franklin, remove the song immediately.

    I feel the term, "Natural Woman," refers to a response a woman has to a certain sorry if man: he's honest, worthy of her trust, there's effective communication, she's very physically attracted, she feels her subtext is understood by him (and she tries to understand his), and he takes her to a nascent place sexually (in actual practice, or as a result of the aggregate) which has so much impact on her head, heart, and body, she calls the feeling, "a natural women," feeling what one ideally would from the correct partner. A little overwhelming, rather intense and passionate, but all wonderfully so.
