Just the Way You Are
Cory Oliveros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday (yeah)
I know, I know
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But everytime she asks me "Do I look okay?"
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
‘Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh
she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfects what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
‘Cause you know I'll say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
‘Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are

The song "Just the Way You Are" by Corey Oliveros is an ode to unconditional love and acceptance of someone's unique qualities. The singer describes his lover's physical attributes such as her eyes that make the stars look dull, her hair that falls perfectly, her lips that he could kiss all day, and her laugh that he finds sexy. He mentions that he tells her everyday how beautiful she is but despite his compliments, she doesn't believe him. He doesn't want her to change and validates her just the way she is. The chorus emphasizes that he wouldn't want to change a single thing about her as she is amazing just the way she is. Her smile is so captivating that the whole world seems to stop and stare.
The song is a perfect example of how someone can love another person without trying to change them. It celebrates the uniqueness of individuality and sends a powerful message of self-acceptance. The lyrics remind us that we don't always need to be perfect to be loved, as love doesn't see flaws but sees beauty in imperfections. The singing is backed by the instrumentals that are soft and complementary to the lyrics' theme, making it a heartwarming listen.
