Carole King - (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman Lyrics






Lookin' 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 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 to do more

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 feel so alive

You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel like
A natural woman

  1. R.... C....

    Back in the day everyone had this album.

  2. N.... D....

    when you meet someone who fits this song.....you will sing it without even realizing you knew the words.

  3. G.... T....

    CHE MERAVIGLIA!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

  4. G.... M....

    just listen to a single song on this record to want to listen to it all again and again.

  5. e.... ....

    I wore out two versions of "Tapestry" on vinyl, also one cassette tape. I've still got the other tape, the one I made from the CD when THAT came out.
    I also have the "Tapestry" album of sheet music, and can make a fair shift of playing this number on piano.

    Thank you, Carole. (I really mean it.)

    e.... ....

    I am Russian, but it is evident to me that Tapestry is one of the greatest albums ever made by humans, and this is something that Americans should be proud of for the next thousand years.

  6. m.... P....

    Love you mum xxx R.I.P MISS YOU ...

  7. R.... ....

    Carole forever <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7kUvXrCs9c

  8. R.... E....

    Who wrote this song? Carol King or Laura Nyro?

  9. A.... G....

    there is no one like Aretha Franklin and she is one of the greats , but I find my inspiration and my love goes to the true musicians and artists who create these songs, no they are will never be Beyonce or Aretha or whoever else but they are the reason that these entertainers are where they are and I think they deserve all the credit in the world.

  10. M.... M....

    My first love.... And YOU know Denis that it's you
    Always made me feel like a Natural Woman
    We listened to Carole the 1st time we Made Love 1973
    How I wish you were here with me
    Now xxx

  11. I.... 6....

    Nostalgia ....PS ☮☮☮☮☮☮☮2019

  12. p.... g....

    Music for your soul.

  13. M.... K....

    I think it's interesting how quick people are to diminish Aretha's definitive performance of this song (which was written *for her* by Carole, Jerry, and Gerry) while we, in general, ignore the fact that white artists had been straight-up stealing music from black artists long before this purposeful collaboration.

    M.... K....

    No one ever "stole" anything simply by singing a song. Ever, ever.

  14. A.... S....

    “Before the day I met you, life was so unkind, but your love was the key to my peace of mind.” Such lyrics within this song, as with the rest of it, has been the case with my anonymous first female friend of fifteen years from a particular school in eastern Melbourne here in Australia, and she is now my beautiful and dearly devoted platonic partner. God bless. 🙏🤗💐

  15. C.... R....

    You know you're bad as hell when the Queen of Soul sings and records a song you wrote.

  16. T.... ....

    Amazing song by an amazing singer and songwriter 😁.

  17. A.... P....

    Love this version

  18. J.... D....

    I love you my Stacy forever

    GENIUS! WHO CAN WRITE THIS!!! There will NEVER another artist like Miss Carole!!!

  26. C.... S....

    Should this be, um Bruce Jenner's new song? BTW THIS was my FAVORITE song as a teen in the 70s, and JUST heard it again by accident. <3 LOVE Carole King. Thank you Carole King for all the many times "I" played your 78 in my parent's cellar by the fireplace!!!!

  27. N.... D....

  29. I.... B....

    Anybody here for Big Little Lies S2E3? Send me comments!

  30. J.... M....

    Saw Beautiful The Carole King musical this weeks...it's touring the US if you can go go

    J.... M....

    Absolutely a amazing composer, writer and Artist ! I'm going to go see her this sat. In central park. And my mother with be with me in spirit as she played her back in the 60's when i was introduced to her. Peace

  31. S.... C....

    My song, I’m a transsexual

  32. P.... P....

    Before the day I met you... life was so unkind


    i get goosebumps everytime

  33. R.... T....

    Odd... My sister bought that album but I don't remember hearing this song.

  34. J.... S....

    One of the few songs to give me goosebumps

  35. J.... A....

    A classic! No one does it better.

  36. e.... e....

    “before the day i met you
    life was so unkind”

  37. K.... ....

    AMEN, JESUS MY BELOVED IS MINE AND I AM HIS !

  38. w.... s....

    Too bad writers don't get more credits.

  39. R.... L....

    💕 xo

  40. L.... B....

    As haunting and deeply emotional, every time I hear this it like the first time

  41. L.... B....

    The best female vocalist , song writer , piano playin' artist in the world . Just simply love her !

  42. V.... K....

    I don't get why they made these songs for other people to sing but not for Carole herself!

    V.... K....

    Carol was a song writer/studio musician before doing this first album. Two of the songs I know she wrote for others before doing it herself.

  43. R.... K....

    I would do her.

  44. A.... H....

    im glad my mother played this CD since i was a child

  45. I.... ....

    Reminds me of my Ma. Love you Ma

  46. F.... C....

  49. T.... A....

    BEST SONG WRITTER IVE HEARD

  50. J.... ....

    I grew up to Carole King love you mom ❤️

  51. c.... d....

    karen carpenter n carole n carly just awesome

  52. I.... B....

    This is my Natural Woman favorite. No Aretha, no Mariah, no Celine, etc. Aretha's interpretation is outstanding, of course. But, there's some nostalgia, something evocative, intimate, raw and quiet about Carole that I love

    I.... B....

    Carole King co-wrote this song...but Aretha Franklin made it a hit!!! Anything after it was just an artist singing the song!I listened to Carole's version and it's ok...and if it floats your boat...it's ok too!But make no mistake... that's Aretha Franklin song!

    I.... B....

    chatnboy Aretha's interpretation is outstanding, of course. But there's some nostalgia, something evocative, intimate, raw and quite about Carole that I love

    I.... B....

    Isabella Bonjour Agreed 👍👍

    I.... B....

    Then there was Joss Stone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6Vu2uuaZ5I

  53. C.... ....

    No word

  54. R.... C....

    God this woman was channeling some serious life emotions she was beyond a doubt tapped into the universal consciousness as were so many of the writers of that era. When they are asked where the inspiration for their songs most don’t know they say it just popped in their head... I really wish today’s musicians would have those moments of clarity.... the times are different now we’ve lost that feeling of love as our core emotion....I’m afraid if humanity as a whole never regains that feeling of love for our world or for our neighbors or ultimately for our selves.... certainly it will ensure a rapid end of our time on the top of food chain....there’s still hope

    R.... C....

    Ron Currier Beautifully written!! 🙏🏾👍🏽

  55. g.... d....

    muito boa a musica

  56. B.... B....

    The lady is talented! 2018 ❤

    B.... B....

    becky edwards She is... along with the two men who wrote the song with her!

    B.... B....

    @Jamie Dodger She wrote it and plays it and sings it!

    B.... B....

    @Laura Kaminsky Gerry Goffin and Jerry Wexler co-wrote this song. I think that's what Jamie's getting at. She didn't compose this song on her own.

  57. D.... F....

    Her Voice🎶

  58. d.... d....

    This song was as TAILOR MADE FOR THE QUEEN OF SONG ARETHA FRANKLIN! I have both Carole kings Tapestry and A.R. greatest hits both versions are beautiful... even though Gerry Goffin Carole king and Jerry Wexler wrote this masterpiece... Aretha Franklin's version of this song makes me cry...its perfect from beginning to end. Carole kings version makes me think. Only two women can sing this song with emotion, joy and respect without ZOOMING through it..like others! That's A.R. and C.K! Folks check out the song Up On The Roof by The Drifters. Carole king wrote this song also and sang her version... Amazing!

    d.... d....

    Michele Pillar on the Simpson bloody good cover - shame it's only a clip

  59. T.... M....

    Way back then, we didn't have a clue as to this mass transgender deception in Hollywood and the music industry. Looking back now, the words were right there, smacking us in the face. "You make me feel LIKE a natural woman..." Carole King was a transgendered man. Check him out on Google Images, if you have any doubts.

    T.... M....

    This is untrue and if it was, what difference does that make? A MTF trans person's brain functions as a female.

    T.... M....

    You really need to get out more, OP.

    T.... M....

    Untrue!

  60. D.... K....

    Great version.

  61. D.... B....

    I wore this album out listening to it in my 20's I loved it!

  62. j.... h....

    I've listened to both versions (King and Franklin) and while in know King wrote it, it sounds like a cover version. Lifeless and plain. Aretha put power and punch into the sound.

    j.... h....

    Differnt singing styles. It is Carole King's song after all.

    j.... h....

    Why do so many people get butt-hurt over an OPINION on a SONG? It's not like a mistated fact.

    j.... h....

    jay hancock A matter of taste! This is my favorite ever!

    j.... h....

    gotta disagree!!

    j.... h....

    This version has vulnerability. It’s beautiful. To call it lifeless is ludicrous.

  63. S.... D....

    I listened to this album, but don’t remember this one on it. I loved so many songs on this album... I didn’t realize Carol King wrote this.

    S.... D....

    Summer D She co-wrote this song with two men.

    S.... D....

    @Jamie Dodger She wrote the song!

    S.... D....

    @Laura Moran She co-wrote this track with two men: Gerry Goffin and Jerry Wexler... like l said.

  64. D.... K....

    This woman is just amazing! She's one helluva writer!

    D.... K....

    It's me, Joolz Don't you mean co-writer? Gerry Goffin and Jerry Wexler co-wrote this track with her. She didn't do it on her own.

    D.... K....

    @Jamie Dodger
    Ok. She's still one helluva writer.

    D.... K....

    @Davida Krappenschitz Yes.

    D.... K....

    It's me, Joolz So true!! 👍🏽

  65. A.... M....

    Even though Aretha Franklin recorded her version first, this is Carole King's song (every song on Tapestry was co-written by her, although several had already been hits for others).

    A.... M....

    How could Aretha record something before the person who wrote it did?

    A.... M....

    Dwight Sagala because Carole King and Gerry Goffin wrote it in 1967 for Aretha. The original idea was of Jerry Wexler. The original recording is Aretha’s.

    A.... M....

    @Dwight Sagala I could have been written for her to sing! Stevie Wonder wrote a song for Aretha Franklin!

    A.... M....

    It was literally written FOR Aretha Franklin but go off I guess?

    A.... M....

    ,Carol wrote it for Aretha but came back later and did her version of it.

  66. B.... C....

    One hellva composer, pianist and songstress❤luv ya Carole!

  67. J.... G....

    Britney Spears

  68. T.... M....

    I’m sorry but this will always be better than the Aretha Franklin version. ☕️

    T.... M....

    Tell that to the people in the Kennedy Center Honor 2015

    T.... M....

    ma che cazzo vai dicendo,santa madonna che mi tocca leggere.

    T.... M....

    Vocals4days I’m allowed to say that one version of a song is better than another lmao. Don’t get triggered

    T.... M....

    @Zedo ciao conpaesano 🤣 puoi dirmi se questa è la canzone originale?

    T.... M....

    @Nicola Paccone ciao,l'originale e' di Aretha Franklin :)
