ナチュラル・ウーマン
今読んでいる『キャロル・キング自伝』（河出書房新社）がちょうど１９７１年の『つづれおり』レコーディングの辺りに差し掛かっているので、そのアルバムのラスト・ナンバーを紹介しておきましょう・・・皆さんご存知ですよね？
"(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman"
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 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, natural woman
You make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman, a natural woman
