Before going solo, Robison was in the bands Chaparral, Millionaire Playboys, and Two Hoots and a Holler. At one point, Robison was on Warner Brothers, but apparently did not see eye to eye about his musical career there and left to release some albums on his own. Among his releases was a live disc also featuring brother Bruce Robison and Jack Ingram that was put out by Sony's Lucky Dog label. He then went to Dualtone Records.
Robison was a judge on the first season of the TV singing competition Nashville Star.
He married Emily Erwin of the Dixie Chicks in 1999 (the couple divorced on August 6, 2008). They have three children together: Charles Augustus, called "Gus", born November 11, 2002 and twins Julianna Tex (9:19pm, 6 lb 10 oz) and Henry Benjamin (9:29pm, 6 lb 14 oz), born on April 14, 2005. All three children were conceived via invitro fertilization.

It Comes To Me Naturally
Charlie Robison Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I can't help it cause it's in my blood
I make no secret it's plain to see
I'll jump on anything that's lookin' good to me
I can't quit it. I can't quit it
Cause it comes to me naturally
Bring me a dozen. Boy I just don't care
And when I'm finished and I'm all out of breath
Bring me a honey and I'll love her to death
I can't quit it. I can't quit it
Cause it comes to me naturally
Well open the door and I'll walk right in
There's so much to do and so little time
Lovin' you is all I'm dreamin' of
LjqiooI tell you the truth I ain't got time to lie
Well I spend my love around the neighborhood
There's no need to ask me 'cause it's understood
It's just my style and one more thing
Give me your number and I'll give you a ring
I can't quit it. I can't quit it.
Cause it comes to me naturally.
Well open up the door and I will stroll right in
There's so much to do and so little time
Lovin' you is all I'm dreaming of
LjqiooI tell you the truth I ain't got time to lie
Well I like this one over here. I like that one over there
Bring me a dozen. Boy I just don't care
And when I'm finished and I'm all out of breath
Bring me a honey and I'll love her to death
Well open the door and I'll walk right in
There's so much to do and so little time
Lovin' you is all I'm dreamin' of
LjqiooI tell you the truth I ain't got time to lie
Well open the door and I'll walk right in
There's so much to do and so little time
Lovin' you is all I'm dreamin' of
LjqiooI tell you the truth I ain't got time to lie
Charlie Robison's song "It Comes To Me Naturally" is a tongue-in-cheek look at a man who simply cannot resist his natural tendency to pursue women. The lyrics are full of innuendo and playful humor as the singer brags about his prowess with the ladies, insisting that his womanizing ways are simply part of who he is. He acknowledges that his reputation is less than stellar, with his name being mud all around town, but seems unconcerned with the opinions of others: "I make no secret it's plain to see, I'll jump on anything that's lookin' good to me." The repeated refrain, "I can't quit it. I can't quit it. Cause it comes to me naturally," reinforces this idea that his womanizing ways are simply a part of his personality that he cannot control.
Despite the obviously problematic nature of the singer's behavior, the song takes a lighthearted approach, with the upbeat melody and catchy chorus making it easy to sing along to. It is worth noting, however, that there is a certain irony to the fact that the song has become a popular hit among country music fans, many of whom are likely conservative and traditional in their views on relationships and gender roles. Charlie Robison himself has acknowledged this irony, stating in an interview that "It Comes To Me Naturally" is "not a feminist anthem by any means," but rather a "funny song about a guy who can't keep his d*** in his pants."
