Just For You
Basik MC/Bicasso/Eligh/The Grouch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The song "Just for You" is a cover of Billy Joel's classic hit "Just the Way You Are," but it focuses on the theme of unconditional love from a hip-hop perspective. The lyrics show the importance of accepting someone as they are, not trying to change them to fit one's own desires or ideals. The song encourages love and loyalty despite the ups and downs of a relationship. The lines, "Don't imagine you're too familiar and I don't see you anymore," highlights the importance of not taking a partner's presence for granted.
Furthermore, the lyrics express the need for communication and companionship over materialistic things. The lines, "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," illustrate the importance of emotional connection rather than surface-level attraction. The overall message of the song is that true love is unconditional and accepting, and it requires effort and understanding to maintain.
