JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
Diana Krall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Oh, 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
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
In Diana Krall's song "Just the Way You Are," the artist is telling her beloved that they do not need to change themselves to please her. She reassures them that they have never let her down, and she will not leave them in times of trouble. She takes the good times and the bad times and loves them just the way they are. She does not want them to try new fashion or change the color of their hair, as she loves their unspoken passion. She does not want clever conversation and just wants someone she can talk and be herself with.
This song is an ode to unconditional love, one that asks for nothing more than the beloved's true self. The artist makes it clear that she loves her partner just the way they are, and she promises to love them forever. The song's message is straightforward, but it carries a lot of emotional weight. It conveys the idea that love should not be conditional and that one does not need to change themselves to be loved. The song's lyrics are a reminder that true love is accepting someone for who they are, imperfections and all.

The brats at Keith STYLE Park, Saturday night trashed the joint.
Also, wrecked BUGS game tables.
Don't know how he is gonna kick their arses.
HE WILL, he don't like that kind of DISRESPECT.
Let's see.
Also I spent over 2 hours, picking up rubbish, removing broken glass, then brush and shovel on knees sweeping up glass shards.
No one helped.
Many compliments for my efforts, not one emulated my caring for community behaviour.
THE GOD FORCE AINT IMPRESSED.
SORRY TO SAY.
