Primitive Songtext
von Neil Diamond

Primitive

Yeah, that′s how I feel when I look in your eyes
I feel primitive
Uncivilized
Like something from out of the heart of the jungle
Uncivilized
A foolish mind
Believing that passion is somehow a rational thing at all
And that's when you take that fall

I′m livin' my life
In such a primitive way
I was doin' alright before you came
I said okay
You said okay
It′s okay


Tentative
There′s nothing about you
That's even the slightest bit tentative
But you remain
Still your own woman and yet in a way
Representative
Of womankind
Believing the notion that love and devotion will rise again
Why can′t we just be friends

I'm livin′ my life
In such a primitive way
I was doin' alright before you came
I said okay
It′s okay
It's okay

Just look at me
I feel like a river of quivering jelly
No man at all
'Cause no man would take that fall

I′m livin′ my life
In such a primitive way
I was doin' alright before you came
I′m livin' my life
In a primitive way
Yeah, I was doin′ alright before you came
I'm livin′ my life
In a primitive way
Yeah, I was doin' just fine before you came
