Billy Joel  (1977)

 

Just the Way You Are

​

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

​

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
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

​

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

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.

​

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

​

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.
