A Natural Affair Songtext / Lyric

I haven't learned the magic word please

Got no attitude, no enemies

I will not lie for I cannot speak

I won't thank you

Or the God you seek



I live only in the present tense

The remaining piece of evidence

Of your time left here on earth



I'm not concerned with your destiny

Nor how I'd feel should you abandon me

Nor legal justice lost on me

Who's been faithful, who's got custody

I could care less of your circumstance

But if given half a chance

I can prove my own self worth






Maybe I've no good excuse

To hold your body

For my selfish use

I'm at your mercy now

So please don't forget

That I'm one of you



Every mother's child

Everywhere

Born with a strong cry

Willing to share

A seed that grows wild

A natural affair

Every mother's child

Everywhere



I'm not hearing mixed messages

Or your great laws of percentages

Nor heads to tails of a balance sheet

When I find my lungs for enough to eat

I won't let you get thrown off the scent

My attentions are more immediate

At least ever since my birth



With neck securely in the noose

Just leave me here or cut me loose

Don't really care

where you're heading to

But please keep me now

From turning blue



Every mother's child

Everywhere

Born with a strong cry

Willing to share

A seed that grows wild

A natural affair

Every mother's child



Out and on the table

With a few minutes to spare

Demanding of your mercy

Nothing less

Desperate for attention

And my first sweet gulp of air

Where is the strange place

And what is this emptiness?



Every mother's child…



Every mother's child

Everywhere

Born with a strong cry

Willing to share

A seed that grows wild

A natural affair

Every mother's child

Everywhere



Born with a strong cry

Willing to share

A seed that grows wild

A natural affair

Every mother's child
