Second Nature
Destiny\'s Child Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why does love always seem so very hard
It's such a struggle to win the reward
Because I'm playin' with the wrong cards
But I think I got the winnin' hands
There's something different about you babe
That tells me I can

I say it's easy for the things that I do
Never a question always a pleasure to
Love you, love you, love you
Baby I won't say no
The love that you give is so
Abound and I can't let go
Of this love

It's so natural, so natural to give my love
It's so easy (easy like a second nature) second nature
It's so natural, so natural I give my love
Like no other (easy like a second nature) second nature

Thinkin' of you is the breath I take
Just for your love I can't wait
I could never think twice
It wakes me up in the mornin'
And in the middle of the night
And with a smile on my face, I'm ready
Baby I won't say no
Your love that you give is so
Abound and I can't let go
Of this love

It's so natural, so natural to give my love
It's so easy (easy like a second nature) second nature
It's so natural, so natural I give my love
Like no other (easy like a second nature) second nature

It's so natural, so natural to give my love
It's so easy (easy like a second nature) second nature
It's so natural, so natural I give my love
Like no other (easy like a second nature) second nature

Second nature
It's so natural, baby
To give it you, wanna love me
And if you wanna it and you got it
Second nature
Second nature

Why does love always seem so very hard?
It's such a struggle
To win the reward
Because we're playin' with the wrong cards
But I think I've got the winnin' hand

I say it's easy for the things that I do;
Never a question
Always a pleasure to
Love you, love you, love you
