Ray Davies - Natural Gift lyrics

See that girl walkin' down the street She looks like a prima donna She's a star in her head and the world's at her feet She looks at you twice and your heart skips a beat She didn't learn it at high school or from a glossy magazine You see she's a natural, she gotta natural gift You gotta rise above your stupidity You're dumb but don't give in You gotta rise above your station Discover what's within And with some luck and dedication and some careful manipulation Everybody needs some inspiration Everybody needs some motivation Mix it up with some imagination And use your natural gifts, you gotta natural gift You got natural gifts Ah, hey, hey, hey, ah, hey, hey And use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts You don't have to be a genius to find All the hidden potential deep in your mind You don't have to know about nuclear physics Know all the formulas and vital statistics You don't have to be an intellectual, you don't have to be a scientist To use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts, yeh Use your natural gifts, you got natural gifts You gotta stop this depression you're in now Stop this emotional rift, you need a psychological lift now Everybody needs some inspiration, everybody needs some motivation Mix it up with some imagination and use your natural gifts There are bad people, mad people, bitter people, scared people Wanna put you down and keep you in your place But you gotta chance to break out, you gotta chance to get out And use your natural gifts
