Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't go changing

To try and please me

You never let me down before

Don't imagine

You're too familiar

And I don't see you anymore

[Verse 2]

I wouldn't leave you

In times of trouble, yeah

We never could have come this far

I took the good times

I'll take the bad times

I'll take you just the way you are

Just the way that

[Verse 3]

Don't go trying

Some new fashion

Don't change the color of your hair

You always have my

Unspoken passion

Although I might not seem to care

[Verse 4]

I don't want clever conversation

Said I never want to work that hard

Just want someone that I can talk to

I want you just the way you are

Just the way that

[Verse 5]

I need to know that you will always be

The same old someone that I knew

Oh, what will it take till you believe in me

The way that I believe in you?

[Verse 6]

I said I love you

And that's forever, baby

And this I promise from the heart

I couldn't love you any better

I love you just the way you are

Just the way that

[Verse 7]

I don't want clever conversation

I never want to work that hard

I just want someone that I can talk to

I want you just the way you are

Are, oh

Yeah, baby

[Verse 8]

Just the way that

I said I'd love you just the way that

In the morning

And in the evening, child

I said I love you, baby

And that's forever

Love you just the, just the way you are

[Verse 9]

And I need you

And I want you, babe, yeah, yeah, in my life

And this I promise from the heart

Couldn't love you any better
