JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
Barry White / Marvin Gaye Lyrics

I never take anything for granted
Only a foolish person would take anything for granted. I don't take things for granted because just because something exists doesn't mean it always will.

Just because it's here today It can be gone tomorrow And that's one thing that you'll Never in your life ever have to worry about me If I'll ever change towards you because Baby, I love you Girl, I love you Just the way you are
Anything that exists today can easily disappear tomorrow, and you'll never have to worry about me changing towards you because I love you just the way you are.

Don't go changing, trying to please me You never let me down before I 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, I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are
You don't have to change yourself to please me because you've never disappointed me in the past. Even though I don't see you often, I will never leave you during tough times. We've come too far to give up now. I'll accept you during both good and bad times because I love you for who you are.

Don't go trying some new fashion Don't change the color of your hair, hey there You always have my unspoken passion Although, I might not seem to care
You don't have to try new things or change yourself for me because I am always passionately in love with you, even if I don't express it well enough.

I don't want clever conversation Don't want to work that hard, no love I just want some, someone to talk to I want you just the way you are
I don't need complex or challenging conversations; I just want someone to be able to talk to comfortingly, and that person is you. I want you to be yourself and not try to change for me.

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 want you to always be the same person I fell in love with, and I want to know what it will take for you to trust and have faith in me the same way that I do in you.

I said, "I love you and that's forever" And this I promise from my heart, oh Lord I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are
I will love you forever, and I promise that from the bottom of my heart. I will not be able to love you any more than I already do; Just know that I love you exactly the way you are.

I want you the way you are (love you just the way you are) Don't go changing (love you just the way you are)
I want you to stay exactly as you are because I love you for all that you are. Please don't even try to change for me because I could not love you any more than I already do.
