Something something natural? What song is this?

What this song I'm thinking of? 70s-sounding easy listening/R&B/soul, sung by a woman, something about being natural - but it's not Aretha Franklin's (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman. It's well-known, but I just can't bring a thing about it to mind!
I take it you also mean it's not Carole King's (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman either?

Can you describe anything else about it, even if it sounds really goofy or silly? Like a memory of an instrument in it or a glimmer of the beat or some sort of association with the feeling it evokes or what it reminds you of?

I was going to suggest Carole King's version, too.
(And is it actually a cover when the songwriter sings it? 'Cause she sorta wrote it with Gerry Goffin 'n'all.)

Response by poster: Thanks for trying, people. But it's not the Carole King version either. See that's the problem, as soon as I think of (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, it stomps all over my hazy memory of this other song. I've been almost remembering it for YEARS.
It's not in the Carole King style anyway - it might have the same kind of sound as something like Here I Am (Come and Take Me) by Al Green. But smoother.
Also, I think it was in an ad for lotion or something, like eight or ten years ago. That might have been a cover though; I was a child.

I'm Every Woman? Chaka Khan did it in 1978 then Whitney Houston covered it in the 90's I think.
I'm every woman, it's all in me
Anything you want done baby, I'll do it naturally...

It's not "I'm Every Woman", is it?
I know both this and "Natural Woman" have been used in numerous cosmetic ads in the last 10 - 15 years.

You're not thinking of Lisa Stansfield's "So Natural"?
It's not 70s, but it's not a new song either.

Response by poster: Sorry, I should have said that I'm Every Woman is the other song that it's not. It's not the Lisa Stansfield song either.
I swear it exists, though. Thanks again everyone!

Response by poster: Well, I remembered. And it's almost none of the things I said it was. It doesn't even have "natural" in it!
Got to Be Real by Cheryl Lynn. (Told you it was smooth.) Thanks so much everyone - and sorry. :)
