Lyrics
Nineteen birds in a sycamore tree
Every one with his own melody
They're singing all together without a beat
Somebody tell me, how come it all sound so sweet?
Brother bee caught the bear with his hands in the honey (yes, it is)
Stung him all over 'til it wasn't so funny
It's the law of the jungle, man has got to survive
Seems like everything wants to want to be alive (wants to be alive)
Yes, it does
But, it's the motion in the ocean
The wind in the leaves
Two got something just trying to make three
Every natural thing has got its groove
I don't know how it comes, it just do (it's the natural thing)
(Love is a natural thing)
It takes two to make it true to keep the love lights burning (yes, it does)
Ain't nothing to it once you get it to turning (say)
Let the feeling overrun you, then snatch it back
I tell you, the potion of love is a natural fact
But it's the motion in the ocean
The wind in the leaves
Two got something just trying to make three
Every natural thing has got its groove
I don't know how it comes, just as long as it do (it's the natural thing)
Just like a star, just like the rain
They're all different but they're all the same
I don't know how else to tell you
But go on and bet your money
On the natural thing
Yeah
Love's a natural thing (natural thing), yes it is
Love's a natural thing (natural thing)
Tellin' you that it's natural thing (natural thing)
Do you believe that it's a
(Yes it is) yes it is
Love's a natural thing (natural thing), yes it is
Love's a natural thing (can you feel), aha
Can you feel it, yeah (can you feel)
Can you feel it (yes, it is)
Love's a natural thing, yes it is
