《If It Doesn’t Come Naturally Leave It》歌词

[00:00:00] If It Doesn't Come Naturally Leave It - Al Stewart

[00:00:14] Nothing that's forced can never be right

[00:00:16] If it doesn't come naturally leave it

[00:00:20] That's what she said as she turned out the light

[00:00:23] And we bent our backs as slaves of the night

[00:00:27] She lowered her guard showed me the scar

[00:00:30] She got from trying to fight

[00:00:33] Saying oh you'd better believe it

[00:00:44] Well I'm up to my neck in crumbling wreckage

[00:00:47] Of all that I wanted from life

[00:00:50] When I looked for respect all I got was neglect

[00:00:54] Though I swallowed the line as a sign of the times

[00:00:57] But dealing a Jack from the back of the pack

[00:01:01] They said

[00:01:02] You'll lose again

[00:01:05] Oh I said who needs it

[00:01:11] Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get on

[00:01:14] With the jokers who got in my way

[00:01:18] And I put on a smile

[00:01:20] And I tried all the while to be straight

[00:01:25] But they just wanted more all the time and I'm sure

[00:01:28] That you know what I mean when I say

[00:01:32] That I'm sick of the touch

[00:01:34] And there's only so much you can take

[00:01:39] Well nothing that's real is ever for free

[00:01:42] And you just have to pay for it sometime

[00:01:46] She said it before she said it to me

[00:01:49] I suppose she believed there was nothing to see

[00:01:52] But the same old four imaginary walls

[00:01:56] She built for living inside

[00:01:59] I said oh you just can't mean it

[00:02:40] Well there was never a doubt that she had to get out

[00:02:44] She was just looking around for a way

[00:02:48] In the pit of the night

[00:02:49] There was nowhere to hide any more

[00:02:54] She was out on a limb

[00:02:56] She was reaching for things

[00:02:58] That she wanted but just couldn't say

[00:03:02] And she had to be sure

[00:03:03] That she wouldn't get caught like before

[00:03:09] Well nothing that's forced can never be right

[00:03:12] If it doesn't come naturally leave it

[00:03:16] That's what she said as she turned out the light

[00:03:19] And she may have been wrong

[00:03:21] And she may have been right

[00:03:22] But I woke with the frost

[00:03:24] And noticed she'd lost the veil that covered her eyes

[00:03:29] I said oh you can leave it
