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 your love was the key to peace my 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 

The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little pray for you
While combing my hair now,
And wondering what dress to wear now,
I say a little prayer for you

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only meen heartbreak for me.

I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.

I say a little prayer for you

I say a little prayer for you

My darling believe me, ( beleive me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too (answer his pray)
And I'm in love with you (answer his pray)
Answer my prayer now babe (answer his pray)

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me (oooooooooh)

And all I'm askin' in return, honey 
Is to give me my profits

A little respect (just a little bit)
