Keepin' It Natural

Michael Franti & Spearhead


When we first meet Hollywood couldn't have writ 
another script better than this 
zoom and close up on the first kiss 
this was a feeling in my body you know 
ecstasy love scenes on the picture show 
with your best foot forward you know 
showing all the things that I want you to know 
now it seems like them two dreams we can't realise 
real life, real real life 
showing its head bobbing big real strife 
expectations, missed appointments, disappointments, arguments 
flares up, feels rough 
do it up I know we grow 

(chorus) 
It ain't logical it ain't even in what you know 
It ain't factual 
keepin' it natural 
lets stop making it difficult 
even when its sexual 
let it flow gradual 
keepin' it natural 

At times like this I want to brush away all of confusion 
just to let you know that we can find a solution 
motion or roller coastin' its hard to keep your heart open 
saying things you later regret 
through it all I'll never forget 
how on the telephone we'll be talking so much 
you saying things that would make the operator blush 
the way you're whispering I hope nobodies listening 
you make my body wet like Lake Michigan 
it's never sex that leaves a weight on my chest 
every time we're together like the day that we met 
oh yes I wait for only you until death 
more precious than breath I'll always protect 

(chorus) 

I don't want to stop being with you 
I never stop needing you 
or believing in you 
I thank you for the things you do
