[Verse 1]
Don't go changing to try and please me
You’ve never let me down before
And don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don’t see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have 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 2]
And don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I may 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
[Verse 3]
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take 'til 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
But I couldn’t love you any better
I love you just the way you are
[Outro]
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
Don't go changing to try and please me
You’ve never let me down before
And don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don’t see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have 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 2]
And don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I may 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
[Verse 3]
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take 'til 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
But I couldn’t love you any better
I love you just the way you are
[Outro]
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
