《If It Doesn’t Come Naturally Leave It (2001 Digital Remaster)》歌词

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

[00:00:14] Nothing that's forced can ever be right

[00:00:17] If it doesn't come naturally leave it

[00:00:21] That's what she said as she turned out the light

[00:00:24] And we bent our backs as slaves of the night

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

[00:00:31] She got from trying to fight

[00:00:34] Saying oh you'd better believe it

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

[00:00:48] Of all that I wanted from life

[00:00:51] When I looked for respect all I got was neglect

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

[00:00:58] But dealing a Jack from the back of the pack

[00:01:01] They said You lose again

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

[00:01:12] Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get on

[00:01:15] With the jokers who got in my way

[00:01:19] And I put on a smile and I tried all the while to be straight

[00:01:26] But they just wanted more all the time and I'm sure

[00:01:29] That you know what I mean when I say

[00:01:33] That I'm sick of the touch and there's only so much you can take

[00:01:40] Well nothing that's real is ever for free

[00:01:43] And you just have to pay for it sometime

[00:01:47] She said it before she said it to me

[00:01:50] I suppose she believed there was nothing to see

[00:01:53] But the same old four imaginary walls

[00:01:57] She built for living inside

[00:02:00] Oh you just can't mean it

[00:02:41] Well there was never a doubt that she had to get out

[00:02:45] She was just looking around for a way

[00:02:48] In the pit of the night there was nowhere to hide any more

[00:02:55] She was out on a limb she was reaching for things

[00:02:59] That she wanted but just couldn't say

[00:03:03] And she had to be sure that she wouldn't get caught like before

[00:03:10] Well nothing that's forced can ever be right

[00:03:13] If it doesn't come naturally leave it

[00:03:17] That's what she said as she turned out the light

[00:03:20] And she may have been wrong and she may have been right

[00:03:23] But I woke with the frost and noticed she'd lost

[00:03:26] The veil that covered her eyes

[00:03:30] Oh you can leave it

[00:04:13] You can leave it
