Lyrics
Act Naturally
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Our little secret just might be the kind of thing that you can'thide
It's growing like a tangled vine & rising like a river in thetide
And everybody knew when you walked into the room
I was just a fool for you, nothing I could do
Everybody sees you taking control of me
Well I'm not begging for release
I'm just begging darling please, please
Act naturally
Don't let our troubles show
Don't let anybody know
Till we get it figured out
Don't give them anything that they could doubt
Our little problem doesn't seem to be about to go away
As far as I can tell it's gonna keep on showing more with everyday
And everybody look, yeah, that was all it took
I can't help believing they can read me like a book
So hide your feelings tight till we figure how to make it right
I don't know what I should but I
Would do it if I could
Act naturally
Just be you beautiful
Just be you casual
I'll be me before the fall
You be you before this all came down
(Act naturally)
Don't let our troubles show
Don't let anybody know
Till we get it figured out
Don't give them anything that they could doubt
Just be you beautiful
Just be you casual
I'll be me before the fall
You be you before this all came down
