Natural Woman

When does a Natural 

Woman hang it all up 

When does she don high 

heels and lipstick 

Rouge on her cheeks and 

eye lashes colored silver, 

or black 

But deep down what are 

her feelings Did she really

hang it on a tree 'cause 

she was the Natural 

Woman still 

You'll know her character 

if you knew her when she 

was a girl, a little girl.  Or 

sometimes a teen.  

And then it comes out 

when she is serious, 

sometimes when she 

plays.  Our Natural 

Woman is a girl at heart, 

the one she had from the 

start, no matter how she 

looks or what she 

pretends to be.

Natural Woman is the 

woman slash girl that 

you'll love. 

Old duds hung on a tree 

New Woman will not be 

Time comes she will be re- 

leased, sprung from gilded cage
