You know, there was a time when
if someone told you to do somethin'
you did it Bam Right on No questions asked
It was Yes, sir and Yes, mam
You never said no You know Huh
But, you know, things are changing nowadays
It's a new day,babies
Folks want to take their own lives into their hands
and make their own choices No longer do they wanna go along with the program 'cause everybody say
it's right You know what I mean
Let me tell ya what I'm talkin' about
ya see, 'cause
I don't want no gold watch for workin'
fifty years from nine till five
A while the boss is guzzling champagne
and I'm beltin' beer in some dive
'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and loving for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' 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 thinkin'
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
Livin' and lovin' for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' 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 ya see me walkin', won't ya notice that proud look in my eyes
My feet are on the ground and my soul is searchin' for the sky
'Cause I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' for me
I want to be happy and free
Livin' and lovin' 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 searchin' 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
