Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't go changin' 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
We could have never come this far
I took the good times and I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
[Verse 3]
Don't go tryin' 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, no
I never wanna work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
[Verse 5]
I need to know that you will always be
The same ol' someone that I knew
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
Oh, I, this I promise from the heart
Mmm, I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
[Verse 7]
I love you just the way you are
