Al Stewart - If It Doesn't Come Naturally, Leave It Lyrics

Nothing that's forced can ever be right

If it doesn't come naturally leave it

That's what she said as she turned out the light

And we bent our backs as slaves of the night

Then she lowered her guard and showed me the scars

She got from trying to fight

Saying oh you'd better believe it.

Well I'm up to my neck in the crumbling wreckage

Of all that I wanted from life

When I looked for respect all I got was neglect

Though I swallowed the lign as a sign of the times

But dealing a jack from the back of the pack

They said-"You lose again"

Oh I said who needs it?

Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get on

With the jokers that got in my way

And I put on a smile and I tried all the while to be straight

But they just wanted more all the time and I'm sure

That you know what I mean when I say

That I'm sick of the touch and there's only so much you can take.

Well nothing that's real is ever for free

And you just have to pay for it sometime

She said it before she said it to me

I suppose she believed there was nothing to see

But the same old four imaginary walls

She built for living inside

I said oh you just can't meana it

Well there was never a doubt that she had to get out

She was just looking around for a way

In the pit of the night there was nowhere to hide any more

She was out on a limb she was reaching for things

That she wanted but just couldn't say

And she had to be sure that she wouldn't get caught like before.

Well nothing that's forced can ever be right

If it doesn't come naturally leave it

That's what she said as she turned out the light

And she may have been wrong and she may have been right

But I woke with the frost and noticed she'd lost

The veil that covered her eyes

I said oh you can leave it.
