It Comes to Me Naturally
N.R.B.Q. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't mean to be crude
I don't mean to come across as rude
I don't mean to be crass
So if I have offended you feel free to kiss my foot

I don't mean to be unkind
I don't mean to always speak my mind
I don't mean to be cruel

To be the guy who's always breaking every rule

I don't mean to take the blame
But time and time again it happens all the same
This is not how I intended to be
I guess it just comes naturally

I don't mean to be blunt
I don't mean to offend or affront
I don't mean to ignore
Every time you come a knocking at my door

I don't mean to make you cry
I don't mean to make you wonder why
I don't mean to walk away
Every single time you have something to say

I don't mean to lose the game
But time and time again it happens all the same

This is not how I intended to be
I guess it just comes naturally

I can't help but love this song....naturally. What a treasure to have lived the late 70's early 80's of these awesome musician/songwriter/storytellers, all around full of wonder and endless fun. Best band live, hands down...

My band had the pleasure & honor of warming up "The Q" on St. Patrick's Day 1991 in Poughkeepsie, NY. They were great and incredibly friendly (especially Tommy) and invite me into their dressing room to drink their beer and eat their pizza!
