About Love in the Natural Way

"Love in the Natural Way" is the fifth and final single from Close, the best-selling album by Kim Wilde. Issued in the UK and Germany in early 1989 on 7", 12" and CD-single (the latter two also containing an extended version of the track), it did not match the success of the other singles from that album the previous year. This was Wilde's final release of the 1980s, the decade in which she had become the biggest selling British female soloist.

Well it sounded like a whisper
But soon became a cry
And the moment that I touch you
I know the reason why - we got love
No union is stronger than a woman with a man
I'm gonna give love in the natural way
With everything I can
Never mind if things go wrong
You and I will still be strong
And how I love you now

Oh baby, we're here tonight
We can make it last forever
Wen can make it last for life
Oh, baby, no matter what
I'm gonna give love in the natural way
With everything I got

All times it can be gentle
And at times it can be cruel
It can treat you like a stranger
It can treat you like a fool
But tonight I wanna hold you
Cos tonight you're gonna see
I'm gonna give you love in the natural way
And keep you here with me
Lovin' like you've never known
Now at last We're on our own
And I still love you now

Oh, baby, we're here tonight
We can make it last forever
We can make it last for life
Oh, babe, it's me and you
And it's a natural reaction
When you feel the way we do
What is left that's still unknown
Let's discover on our own

Cos when love's the culmination
Of everything you feel
Well it's the only thing that's precious
It's the only thing that's real
