《If It Doesn’t Come Naturally， Leave It(Live 1981)》歌词

[00:00:00] If It Doesn't Come Naturally, Leave It (Live 1981) - Al Stewart

[00:00:00] Written by：Al Stewart/Peter White

[00:00:13] Nothing that's forced can ever be right

[00:00:15] If it doesn't come naturally leave it

[00:00:19] That's what she said as she turned out the light

[00:00:22] And we bent our backs as slaves of the night

[00:00:25] She lowered her guard and showed me the scars

[00:00:28] She got from trying to fight

[00:00:31] Saying oh you'd better believe it

[00:00:41] Well I'm up to my neck in the crumbling wreckage

[00:00:44] Of all that I wanted from life

[00:00:48] When I looked for respect all I got was neglect

[00:00:51] Though I swallowed the line as a sign of the times

[00:00:54] But dealing a jack from the back of the pack

[00:00:57] They said you lose again

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

[00:01:07] Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get on

[00:01:10] With the jokers that got in my way

[00:01:13] I put on a smile

[00:01:15] And I tried all the while to be straight

[00:01:20] But they just wanted more all the time

[00:01:22] And I'm sure

[00:01:23] You know what I mean when I say

[00:01:26] I'm sick of the touch

[00:01:28] And there's only so much you can take

[00:01:34] Nothing that's real is ever for free

[00:01:37] You just have to pay for it sometime

[00:01:40] She said it before she said it to me

[00:01:43] I suppose she believed there was nothing to see

[00:01:46] But the same old four imaginary walls

[00:01:49] She built for living inside

[00:01:53] Oh you just can't mean it

[00:02:32] Well there was never a doubt

[00:02:33] That she had to get out

[00:02:35] She was just looking around for a way

[00:02:39] In the pit of the night

[00:02:40] There was nowhere to hide any more

[00:02:46] Out on a limb

[00:02:46] She was reaching for things

[00:02:48] That she wanted but just couldn't say

[00:02:52] She had to be sure that

[00:02:53] She wouldn't get caught like before

[00:02:59] Nothing that's forced can ever be right

[00:03:01] If it doesn't come naturally leave it

[00:03:05] That's what she said as she turned out the light

[00:03:08] And she may have been wrong

[00:03:10] And she may have been right

[00:03:12] I woke with the frost

[00:03:13] And noticed she'd lost

[00:03:15] The veil that covered her eyes

[00:03:18] Oh I said you can leave it

[00:03:24] You can leave it
