If It Doesn't Come Naturally Leave It - Al Stewart (阿尔·史蒂伍德)
Nothing that's forced can never be right
If it doesn't come naturally leave it
That's what she said as she turned out the light
And we bent our backs as slaves of the night
She lowered her guard showed me the scar
She got from trying to fight
Saying oh you'd better believe it
Well I'm up to my neck in crumbling wreckage
Of all that I wanted from life
When I looked for respect all I got was neglect
Though I swallowed the line as a sign of the times
But dealing a Jack from the back of the pack
They said
You'll lose again
Oh I said who needs it
Well don't get me wrong now I tried to get on
With the jokers who got in my way
And I put on a smile
And I tried all the while to be straight
But they just wanted more all the time and I'm sure
That you know what I mean when I say
That I'm sick of the touch
And there's only so much you can take
Well nothing that's real is ever for free
And you just have to pay for it sometime
She said it before she said it to me
I suppose she believed there was nothing to see
But the same old four imaginary walls
She built for living inside
I said oh you just can't mean it
Well there was never a doubt that she had to get out
She was just looking around for a way
In the pit of the night
There was nowhere to hide any more
She was out on a limb
She was reaching for things
That she wanted but just couldn't say
And she had to be sure
That she wouldn't get caught like before
Well nothing that's forced can never be right
If it doesn't come naturally leave it
That's what she said as she turned out the light
And she may have been wrong
And she may have been right
But I woke with the frost
And noticed she'd lost the veil that covered her eyes
I said oh you can leave it
