If i could be a simple lover
And fall asleep beneath the sky
If i could feel a little flutter
Without a modern alibi
When i need three or four more dollars
I steal a songbird's melody
To sell it for a few more dollars
So i may die expensively
A natural man, a simple lover
A natural man without a name
A natural man, no shame to cover
The very same as when i came
Some men have no imagination
They even think that makes them men
To speak of dreams makes them impatient
They haven't dreamed since they were ten
So i can't wait 'til i get ancient
With no ambition left in me
Without belief, without opinion,
Without conviction, i'd be free
A natural man, a simple lover
A natural man without a name
A natural man, no shame to cover
The very same as when i came
The same as i came
The same as i came
